Liverpool could bring Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim to their dugout for a relatively cheap price, according to a new report.

Jurgen Klopp will step down as Reds manager this summer after nine years at Anfield, and potential replacement Xabi Alonso confirmed on Friday he will stay at Bayer Leverkusen rather than change jobs.

With Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi and Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann among the options Liverpool are considering, there are many options available as the Merseyside club look at how they can move on from the Klopp era.

And The Telegraph Report that the Sporting Lisbon coach could cost just €15 million (or £12.8 million) to sign this summer, as that is the release clause in 39-year-old Amorim’s deal with the Portuguese club.

If they were to wait until the summer of 2025, that price would drop to €10 million, which also gives Liverpool some movement towards a potential deal.
