Liverpool are believed to have sent club representatives to watch Ruben Amorim's Sporting CP as they narrow their shortlist of managers to replace Jurgen Klopp, according to reports.
The heavily decorated manager's nine-year stint at Anfield will come to an end with the close of this campaign, after Klopp broke the news that he was 'running out of energy' and making the decision to leave in late January.
The Reds are determined to give the German head coach a send-off to remember as they continue to compete on all fronts after securing their first piece of silverware - the Carabao Cup - last weekend.
