Ruben Amorim’s name is high on Liverpool’s want list, and rumours suggest that the Portuguese manager is currently in pole position to succeed Klopp.
According to today’s Mundo Deportivo (news image below), Amorim has emerged as the best candidate to join the Reds in recent hours.
Liverpool are finally set to sign the £51.3 million star, according to reports.
According to the Spanish media outlet, Xabi Alonso, the favourite to win the Bundesliga title, will stay with Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
On the other side, Italian coach Roberto de Zerbi has lost steam as Brighton have been inconsistent this season.
In such a case, the Catalan source said Ruben Amorim is the ‘best positioned’ coach to join Liverpool.
Multiple reports imply that the Portuguese manager has a release clause in his contract with Sporting CP.
According to famous transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The exit clause is worth approximately £26 million (or 30 million euros).
When asked about a possible move to Liverpool. The 39-year-old manager chose to remain silent, stating that he is completely focused on the Lions. Amorim stated:
“Right now, I’m concentrated on sports. I’m extremely proud to be Sporting’s coach. We’re focused.
“I’m currently concentrating on Sporting. I am very proud to be Sporting’s coach. We’re intent on winning championships.
You will see in the end. I have a contract, and I’m extremely satisfied here.”
Amorim, who made 14 appearances for Portugal during his playing career. Has won five major championships in the country as a manager and is favourite to win another Primeira Liga title, with Sporting currently topping the table.
He certainly has more decorations than Alonso and De Zerbi. However. Is he good enough to succeed Klopp at Liverpool? The outcome will be determined only by time.
