Julian Ward is returning to Liverpool to support the club's revamped transfer department
first secured the services of Ward in October 2012, appointed as the club's European scouting manager with a focus on Spain and Portugal regions. The summer of 2013 saw Sporting Lisbon defender Tiago Ilori arrive through the doors at Anfield, with Lazar Markovic being signed from Benfica the following year. It's also believed Ward played a key role in Roberto Firmino being recruited in 2015.
Ramsay has been desperately unlucky with injury issues, stunting his progress at the club since his arrival in June 2022. The Scottish full-back was ruled out for the season in February 2023, requiring surgery on a back issue, and has been battling similar problems this term after undergoing knee surgery. The 20-year-old has only two Liverpool first-team appearances to his name, though will be hopeful of more opportunities in 2024/25.The jury is still out on the Reds' No.
Carvalho got off to an encouraging start, scoring twice in his first five Premier League matches, though saw game time fade as the season progressed. The arrival of Arne Slot could further boost his chances of holding down a starting spot in the side as Liverpool prepare for a change in approach to Jurgen Klopp's methods.Swooping in to recruit the Colombian in January 2022 as Tottenham Hotspur circled, there can be no regrets regarding the arrival of Luis Diaz.
Ward's parting gift before leaving his position of sporting director was to help bring Mac Allister to Anfield, understood to be for £35m. That Liverpool were able to acquire a player of this quality, at this price, was a resounding success for the Reds' transfer department. Figures paid by Chelsea, among other clubs, for individuals in this area has only reinforced just what a bargain this was.
