In the midst of a record-breaking campaign, that will delight all associated with the German club.

And as focus starts to turn to the Portuguese coach, The Times have shared exactly what Liverpool need to do to get him to Anfield.

There’s a line of thinking that Amorin would actually be a better fit for Liverpool than Alonso.

As Fabrizio Romano said yesterday, Portuguese sides don’t tend to go down without a fight when it comes to losing their best assets.

They tend to insert enormous release clauses into their best player’s contracts and as it turns out, Amorim also has a set fee Liverpool would have to stump up to land him.

Knowing FSG, you can’t say for sure that it won’t put them off.

Somewhat remarkably, if Liverpool paid the £17m to get Amorim, it would be the third highest fee paid for a manager in history.

Ironically, another coach said to be on the Reds’ list – Julian Nagelsmann – currently holds the title as the world’s most expensive boss.

Chelsea also hold the current third-place, having signed Andre Villas-Boas for just over £13m in 2011.

A young Portuguese coach coming to England for a big fee having done remarkably well in his homeland?

Let’s hope that if the release clause is paid and Amorim is the man for Liverpool that he doesn’t go the same was as Villas-Boas.
