Amorim has emerged as the favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp after the German tactician announced his intention to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jurgen-klopp-leaving-liverpool-reds-boss-bombshell-announcement-quitting-role-shock-video/bltba3be51866395e61#csb4b7ff5f08959f11" target="_blank">leave at the end of the season</a>. There had been fevered speculation that the Reds would turn to Xabi Alonso, their former midfielder, but the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/xabi-alonso-decision-rejects-bayern-munich-liverpool-bayer-leverkusen-stay/blt3f58b772b9b209a9" target="_blank">Bayer Leverkusen boss has since confirmed that he will remain at the BayArena</a>. As a result, focus has shifted towards Amorim, with Sporting currently one point clear of Benfica at the top of the Portuguese Liga NOS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Amorim has a release clause in his contract that fee has gradually dropped during his time in charge and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bargain-fee-liverpool-pay-sporting-cp-ruben-amorim-xabi-alonso-snub-revealed/blt40593851b09babc7" target="_blank">now stands at around £13 million ($16m)</a>. However, he is remaining quiet on the potential of a switch and issued a defiant response when asked about the prospect of moving to Anfield.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Amorim told reporters: “Right now, I’m focused on Sporting. I’m very proud to be Sporting’s coach. We’re focused on winning titles. You’ll see in the end. I have a contract and I’m very happy here. That’s the most important thing, more than contracts, I’m very happy here. The focus is on beating Benfica in the Portuguese Cup.”

WHAT AMORIM SAID

Liverpool will continue their hunt for a new manager as the season reaches its climax, while Amorim will aim to win his second Portuguese league title since being appointed as Sporting's manager.
