Sporting’s Reuben Amorim is currently the highest name on the list to succeed Jurgen Klopp. In recent weeks, reports have emerged that Liverpool have been in contact with the manager’s representatives and have reached a verbal agreement on the basic terms of a contract.
Furthermore, news has also circulated that he has been offered a three-year contract and that the 39-year-old manager, who has also attracted interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, wants a new challenge at Anfield.
However, the Portuguese manager denied any contact with Liverpool at a press conference held today. He stressed that nothing had been agreed and asked journalists to avoid questions about his future career.
“I did not meet Liverpool for any interview and there’s no agreement — it’s not true,”
“I’m Sporting manager, I want to win here and I didn’t meet any club. Nothing has been agreed.”
“Stop with this story. This is the last time I speak about my future.”
