According to an exclusive story covered by Football Insider, Liverpool are plotting to activate the termination clause to secure the signing of Amorim.
The 39-year-old has been shortlisted as the main candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield and now, the Reds are pushing to get the signing done.
Yesterday, Liverpool dropped points at Old Trafford and allowed Arsenal to move to the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners lead due to a superior goal difference.
