Ruben Amorim’s 2-1 triumph over Benfica may accelerate his potential move to Liverpool this summer, according to Portuguese football insider Pedro Sepulveda, who shared the claim on social media this morning.
Allegedly, Liverpool aims to finalize an agreement with the former Braga manager on his prospective contract as early as ‘next week’.
The victory not only extends Sporting Lisbon’s lead over city rivals Benfica at the top of the table but also positions them favorably to secure the Primeira Liga title, with a four-point gap and a game in hand.
While it remains uncertain if the 39-year-old is indeed the top candidate to succeed Jurgen Klopp, Sepulveda’s update suggests positive prospects.
Securing another league title for Sporting would be an ideal transition for Amorim before potentially moving to Anfield.
