Sky Sports broadcast footage of the Spaniard leaving a building at the facilities less than a week after the Merseyside club .
The 43-year-old Iraola led Bournemouth to European qualification this season while featuring an attacking style reminiscent of Liverpool icon .
The Associated Press reported earlier this week that Liverpool had started negotiations with Iraola, who was in charge for three seasons at Bournemouth.
