Amorim has been heavily linked with the Liverpool job in recent days and has no responded to Anfield rumours.
The Portuguese is now the favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield after the German announced he's leaving at the end of the season, and former Reds star Xabi Alonso confirmed he will remain with Bayer Leverkusen next term. The Spaniard was tipped to take over but his call has forced a rethink on Merseyside. This means managing director of professional football Michael Edwards and incoming sporting director Richard Hughes are looking at other options, including Amorim.
If Amorim does want to move to Liverpool a release clause in his contract has been getting lower while he's been in charge of Sporting and this summer it's thought to be around £12.8million, reports the Mirror. The cost of prising Amorim away from Sporting Lisbon could drop to a mere £8.5m by 2025 - which is what the Portuguese side paid for him just two years ago, in 2020. His contract with them runs up until 2026.
"When you coach Liverpool, you have pressure from the fans, the club and the whole world. The way it is developing, I think it will be a matter of time."
