Liverpool moved quickly after Xabi Alonso, a big favourite to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager, announced he was staying at Bayer Leverkusen.
They contacted the agent of Sporting’s Ruben Amorim and are said to have held talks yesterday. And it appears that further progress has been made.
Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepúlveda reported that Liverpool had offered a three-year contract to the 39-year-old in charge and were close to agreeing terms.
“Liverpool offers Rúben Amorim a contract for the next three seasons. Financial terms are almost agreed. Negotiations remain positive for Amorim to become Liverpool’s next coach.”
