Liverpool reach 'verbal agreement' with Amorim

German journalist Florian Plettenberg says that Liverpool are closing on a deal with Ruben Amorim.

Plettenberg tweeted: "Been told there’s a verbal agreement in principle with Liverpool now! Amorim wants to join LFC next season and Liverpool was pushing for him in the last weeks.

"He can sign a contract until 2027 - confirmed! Final negotiations with Sporting are still pending. It‘s not a done deal yet. More steps needed. Deal can still fall through.

"The 39 y/o was also on the list of FC Bayern but it was never advanced. Chelsea have inquired about him."

It's been previously reported that Liverpool would have to pay between €15m and €20m to Sporting to release the 39-year-old from his contract.
