The renowned Portuguese news source have mentioned that Amorim is one of the candidates shortlisted by the Anfield club to replace Klopp.
To secure his services before the expiry of his contract, it is reported that Liverpool have to pay a fee of £17m (20 million euros).
Amorim’s current deal with the Lions will expire in the summer of 2026 and it has a clause of £17m set for the clubs in ‘England’.
In Portugal, the 39-year-old has already won two League Cups, a Super Cup and a Primeira Liga title with Sporting CP.
At the moment, the Lisbon club are leading the Liga Nos table and the former Braga manager is focused on winning the title again.
Correio da Manha claim Amorim’s work at Sporting has ‘not gone unnoticed’. Apart from the accolades, his ability to ‘promote’ youngsters and the ‘attractive football’ have been highlighted ‘internationally’.
Have your say – Should Liverpool pay £17m to sign Ruben Amorim or focus on Xabi Alonso?
