Liverpool Set to Seal Ruben Amorim Deal Following Xabi Alonso Setback
Reports suggest that Liverpool is close to striking a deal to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new manager to succeed Jurgen Klopp. Klopp announced his departure from the club this summer, citing a need to step down due to feeling “running out of energy” in the position, rather than relying on the club’s owners to part ways with him. This statement prompted Liverpool to quickly identify potential successors, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso initially being considered as the top target, before ruling out a move away from the club. Attention has since turned to Amorim, and negotiations are expected to begin shortly, as an agreement with his entourage over the financial aspects is anticipated to be reached in the coming days.
With Sporting facing a tough set of fixtures in the near future, negotiations have not yet commenced, but Liverpool is eager to engage with Amorim’s representatives promptly to avoid losing out to other clubs. Amorim himself has acknowledged the uncertainty regarding his future, stating that he cannot guarantee his presence in Sporting’s dugout next season, as he had made a commitment to leave the club if they fail to win titles. The potential move to Liverpool remains a subject of interest.
