Ruben Amorim’s 2-1 win over Benfica could expedite his potential move to Liverpool this summer.
That’s the claim from Portuguese football insider Pedro Sepulveda who tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) this morning.
The Reds, for their part, allegedly hope to complete an agreement with the former Braga boss on his potential contract ‘next week’.

One step closer to the Primeira Liga title
It’s a victory that sees the Lisbon-based outfit clear room between itself and city rivals Benfica at the top of the table.
Four points now separate the two outfits, though it should be borne in mind that Amorim’s side have a game in hand still to play.
It remains to be seen whether the 39-year-old is indeed our top candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp, though it certainly bodes well to witness Sepulveda’s latest update.
What better way to transition to Anfield than by securing the title once more for Sporting?
