Liverpool’s search for a new manager has garnered more attention than their pursuit of players in the final days of the January transfer window. Following Jurgen Klopp’s announcement of his eventual exit, the media is abuzz with reports linking the club to various managerial candidates. One such candidate is Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese boss of Sporting CP.

According to Correio da Manha, a renowned Portuguese news source, Liverpool has set their sights on Amorim as a potential replacement for Klopp in the upcoming season. To secure his services before his contract expires, the Anfield club would need to pay a fee of £17m (20 million euros). Amorim’s current deal with Sporting CP runs until the summer of 2026 and includes a release clause of £17m specifically for English clubs.

Amоrim has already achieved success in Pоrtugal, winning twо League Cups, a Suρer Cup, and a Primeira Liga title with Spоrting CP. His ability tо develоp yоung talent and implement an attractive style оf fооtball has garnered internatiоnal recоgnitiоn. Currently, he is fоcused оn leading Spоrting CP tо anоther league title, as they currently sit atоp the Liga Nоs table.

The question now arises whether Liverpool should invest £17m to secure Amorim’s services or consider other options, such as Xabi Alonso. The decision rests with the club, as they weigh their managerial options for the future.
