Dave Fallows is now set to leave Liverpool Football Club ‘by the end of the year’.
The Reds decision-maker first joined the club in 2012 alongside fellow former Manchester City employee (and now chief scout) Barry Hunter.
The 64-year-old is credited with having played a key role in helping bring talismanic Egyptian forward Mo Salah to the club back in 2017 in a £34.3m deal.
“The scouting department was really behind me, and wanted to do it even earlier so that nobody could jump in!” Jurgen Klopp said back in 2020.
“We were sure he can help us. Michael Edwards, Dave Fallows and Barry [Hunter], they were really in my ear and were on it: ‘Come on, come on, Mo Salah, he’s the solution!’”

“I have been very privileged to work for this incredible football club,” the Englishman was quoted by the club’s website.
“The fantastic people here starting with the supporters make it so special – to have had the opportunity to work with so many talented players and colleagues past and present who are now friends is something I am very grateful for.”
It’s understood that Fallows has already played a part in helping with the transition process behind the scenes.
