FC Barcelona lead the race among Europe’s top clubs, most notably Liverpool, to sign Ruben Amorim as their new manager, according to the latest rumors.
Xabi Alonso was expected to be the favorite to replace Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool, but the Basque tactician has chosen to remain at Bayern Leverkusen for the time being.
That means the Merseyside club has increased its ambition to sign Amorim, who has made a name for himself as the manager of Sporting CP.
The high release clause (€13m) for Amorim could be a problem for Barcelona should they want to sign him.
