Liverpool have a huge decision to make with manager Jurgen Klopp leaving Anfield at the end of the season – and finding a replacement is top of the priority list for Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes.

Klopp’s tenure is coming to an end after a wonderful stint as Anfield manager – but it leaves The Reds with a difficult decision to make.

Liverpool are desperate to bring him in – and Richard Keys says he has already agreed to replace Klopp.

But he is not the only manager on Liverpool’s radar – in case Alonso chooses to go to Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, or even remain at Leverkusen.

Brighton’s Robert De Zerbi, Lens boss Franck Haise, linked.

Emerging as a strong contender, though, is Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim.

Fabrizio Romano said this week that Amorim was Liverpool’s second choice ahead of De Zerbi and other manageres, if they fail to get Alonso.

The Daily Mail say Sporting boast a £25m clause in Amorim’s deal.

Speaking to O Jogo this week – as per Desporto Sapo – Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha said his old Sporting boss Amorim suits Liverpool, predicting it won’t be long before he moves to the Premier League.

“Rúben has a lot of quality, one of the best in Portugal.

I think it will be a matter of tim,” he said.

Recently surpassing 200 games in charge at Sporting, Amorim has clocked up 144 wins in 206 games as manager of the Portuguese giants.
