In a recent update from Portugal, Liverpool are said to be considering a bold move to secure Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon as a potential successor for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
According to Correio da Manhã, the Reds are reportedly unfazed by the prospect of paying the €20m (£17.1m) release clause in Amorim’s contract.
The 39-year-old, Ruben Amorim, who has expressed admiration for English football, has earned a stellar managerial reputation at Sporting Lisbon.
With almost 200 matches under his belt despite his relative youth, Amorim has been lauded by the likes of Pep Guardiola as ‘one of the best’ in the profession (Evening Standard).
Known for promoting young talent and implementing an attractive brand of football, Amorim has kept Sporting competitive in Portugal, even after parting ways with high-profile players.
Notably, Liverpool transfer targets Goncalo Inacio and Ousmane Diomande are key members of his title-contending squad.
While the transition from Sporting to Liverpool would be a formidable challenge, especially in replacing the iconic Jurgen Klopp, Amorim seems keen on pursuing ‘higher goals.’
If the reports hold true, Liverpool might be considering him as a potential candidate for the managerial role, adding an intriguing chapter to the club’s future.
Liverpool is my Religion and Anfield is my Church. 17th May 1996 the date I had my blood coloured red. The one you love the most you can not live without it and that is football to me.
