Amorim denies Liverpool move, slams talk of deal

Sporting CP coach Rúben Amorim has denied reports he has held talks with Liverpool or any other club regarding his future.

Amorim, 39, is considered one of the top candidates to succeed Jürgen Klopp this summer after Xabi Alonso confirmed his intention to remain at Bayer Leverkusen next season.

Asked about reports that emerged this week that claimed Amorim had agreed to personal terms with Liverpool, Amorim said in Thursday’s news conference: “This is the last time I’m going to talk about my future.

“There was no talk, much less an agreement, the only thing we all want here is to be champions with Sporting, and nothing will change.

“I’m the Sporting coach, there was no talk or agreement with any club, [I’m] just focused as always on defending my club.
