Liverpool and Barcelona are looking to bring in a new manager, and Ruben Amorim has been linked with the two clubs.
According to Give Me Sport, Ruben Amorim has an £8.6 million release clause in his contract, and it might be possible for the two clubs to negotiate a lower fee. The development will come as a major boost for Liverpool and Barcelona.
Dean Jones said, “The noises around the Amorim manager pursuit have gone slightly quiet, but that makes sense because, with Amorim now, this needs to become pretty detailed as it is important to understand the workings of how the move opens up.”
“That includes speaking to his camp and Sporting about his contract and the attached clause. If they are going to get him out of that deal, it’s vital to understand how much he is released for and whether it can be negotiated, and there are now whispers that might be possible.”
It will be interesting to see if they step up on their interest with a concrete proposal to sign the manager. The 39-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best young managers in European football, and he could prove to be a solid acquisition for Liverpool and Barcelona.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he will take a sabbatical from management at the end of the season, and he will lead to be replaced adequately. He has done a phenomenal job at Anfield and help them when every single trophy at the club level. The German manager is widely regarded as one of the best of his generation, and it will be interesting to see if Amorim can fill the void left by him.
At Barcelona, former Spanish international Xavi Hernandez has also confirmed that he will move on at the end of the season. Both clubs would represent excellent opportunities for the Portuguese manager, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Liverpool have also looked at other managers
Liverpool have been linked with managers like Xabi Alonso as well. But the Spaniard has decided to continue with Bayer Leverkusen for now. Liverpool must ensure that they bring in a quality replacement for Klopp.
The German tactician is undoubtedly one of the best managers in their history, and the pressure on his replacement will be massive. Therefore, they will need to bring in someone who is capable of handling that pressure and delivering trophies. But with Barcelona also in the hunt, Liverpool need to be careful and efficient.
