Sporting CP identifies Rúben Amorim replacement as club braced for Liverpool approach

Sporting CP is braced to receive an offer for Rúben Amorim this summer, who is the favorite to succeed Jürgen Klopp at the end of the season.



That's according to The Times, which reports that the club is already looking at Bayern Munich coach Anthony Barry, who is from Liverpool, as Amorim's successor.

It is believed that Amorim could be signed for his release clause fee of $10m (£8m/€9m), providing the Reds a strong alternative after news of Xabi Alonso's decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen forced a twist in the Liverpool next manager latest.

That would seem like a hint that a Liverpool boost could be coming.

Liverpool.com says: There were immediate questions over whether Xabi Alonso would leave Bayer Leverkusen when he was linked, but it looks as though Sporting CP is effectively resigned to losing Amorim this summer.

Mohamed Salah and Luis Díáz are two in particular that could shine in his system.

Rúben Amorim also on radar of Barcelona and wants to leave Sporting after winning the double

Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim is aiming to win the double before leaving the club this summer.

Liverpool.com says: Liverpool will need to be aware of interest from Barcelona, but the latest suggests that the Reds remain at the front of the queue for his signature.

Add the fact that he would be open to leaving to Sporting already seeking a replacement and that could be a double boost for Liverpool in its managerial hunt.
