David Ornstein has provided his latest on Liverpool’s pursuit of Ruben Amorim.

The Sporting CP manager is believed to be the frontrunner after Xabi Alonso publicly ruled himself out of a potential move to Anfield.

Employing a dynamic 3-4-3 formation, Amorim emphasizes a high-pressing, possession-oriented playstyle that aligns well with the strengths of many Liverpool players.

Under his tutelage, Sporting secured the Primeira Liga title in the 2020/21 season, marking their first triumph in 19 years and ending the hegemony of rivals Benfica and Porto.

Furthermore, Amorim guided his team to success in the Taca da Liga on two occasions and steered them to the knockout stages of the Champions League, showcasing his managerial prowess in both domestic and European competitions.

Now David Ornstein has provided his latest amid reports that Amorim’s agent has purchased a property in the city of Liverpool.

What did David Ornstein say about Ruben Amorim?

Speaking on his weekly Athletic Q & A session, Ornstein suggested that negotiations between Amorim and the Anfield club could accelerate pretty soon:

“Amorim is in in the mix, but we’re told he is not a shoe-in or a nailed on first choice at this stage.”

“Liverpool are said to be conducting a genuinely thorough and broad process that has also highlighted alternative candidates.”

“Those involved in the search will be finishing due diligence on those candidate’s and from what I hear they should be in a position to make more concrete advances on whoever emerges as their top target pretty soon.”

So, it looks like we could be heading towards the end of what has turned into a big of a saga in finding Jurgen Klopp’s successor.
