Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim Emerges as Contender Amid Doubts Over Alonso’s Availability
Liverpool Football Club is reportedly widening its search for Jurgen Klopp’s successor, with two prominent contenders emerging amidst doubts over the availability of top target Xabi Alonso.
Former Liverpool midfielder Alonso had quickly become the frontrunner to take over as manager following Klopp’s announcement of departure at the end of the season. However, recent developments have cast uncertainty on his potential appointment.
According to reports, Bayern Munich has entered the race to secure Alonso’s services, posing a significant challenge to Liverpool’s pursuit. Although Bayer Leverkusen has indicated a willingness to release Alonso, Bayern Munich’s interest complicates Liverpool’s aspirations.
Amid concerns over Alonso’s availability and competition from Bayern Munich, Liverpool has reportedly shifted focus to Sporting Lisbon’s head coach, Ruben Amorim. The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician has garnered attention from various clubs, including Manchester United, with Liverpool expressing growing interest in his managerial prowess.
Representatives from Liverpool were reportedly in Portugal to witness Sporting Lisbon’s victory over Benfica, further indicating the club’s keenness on Amorim. Additional assessments and interviews are expected to follow as Liverpool evaluates its options for Klopp’s successor.
While Alonso remains a favorite for the position, Liverpool’s pursuit of alternatives reflects the club’s determination to secure a capable and available manager to lead the team forward.
In other transfer news, Manchester United is reportedly monitoring Girona left-back Miguel Gutierrez as part of their summer recruitment plans. The 22-year-old defender has attracted attention with his performances for the La Liga side, prompting interest from Manchester United as they seek defensive reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace legend Wilfried Zaha is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs, including Fulham, Everton, West Ham, and Wolves. Despite enjoying a successful spell at Galatasaray, Zaha’s potential return to the Premier League has garnered attention as clubs assess their options ahead of the summer transfer window.
