EXCLUSIVE NEWS: reported by Fabrizio Romano, EYES LIKE AN EAGLE, Liverpool incoming coach Ruben Amorim has told the club the 3 signings he need to kickstart his tenure as Liverpool coach. Liverpool-linked head coach Ruben’s Amorim has identified three players that he would like to sign as he’s about to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, according to a report. Ruben Amorim ‘identifies first three signings as Liverpool manager’.

Liverpool-linked coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly identified three players whom he would consider signing if he were to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Following Klopp’s announcement in January regarding his departure at the end of the season, Liverpool is in search of a new manager.

Ruben Amorim, the current head coach of Sporting Lisbon, has emerged as a potential candidate for the managerial role at Liverpool. Amorim has accumulated extensive experience, having managed 215 games over the last three-and-a-half years with Sporting Lisbon.

Recent reports suggest that the 39-year-old has verbally agreed to take charge at Liverpool in the summer, with a proposed three-year contract awaiting him.

However, Amorim has affirmed his commitment to Sporting, where he is currently leading the team to the top of the Primeira Liga table, sitting four points clear after a crucial 2-1 victory over Benfica last weekend.

Despite his focus on Sporting’s success, Portuguese news outlet Jornal Noticias, as cited by The Sun, reports that Amorim has already pinpointed three players he would like to bring to Anfield for the 2024-25 season.

Goncalo Inacio and Ousmane Diomande, both central defenders, are reportedly high on Amorim’s wishlist. The addition of these defensive reinforcements could provide support to Liverpool’s injury-hit backline, alongside retaining the services of club captain Virgil van Dijk, whose contract expires in June 2025.

In midfield, Amorim is said to be interested in recruiting Morten Hjulmand, a 24-year-old midfielder currently playing for Sporting. With Liverpool facing a potential departure of Thiago Alcantara, who has less than three months left on his contract, Hjulmand could serve as a valuable addition to Liverpool’s midfield lineup.

The pursuit of Inacio and Diomande aligns with Liverpool’s need for defensive reinforcements, particularly with uncertainties surrounding Joel Matip’s future and concerns over Ibrahima Konate’s fitness.

Inacio and Diomande have garnered attention for their adept ball-playing abilities and have been instrumental in Sporting’s recent successes. Inacio, aged 22, has already made 163 appearances for the club, while Diomande, aged 20, has been linked with top clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea.

As for Hjulmand, his potential signing could bolster Liverpool’s midfield options, providing additional depth and quality to the squad. With four goals and four assists in 43 appearances for Sporting this season, Hjulmand has demonstrated his effectiveness on the field.

While the financial aspects and contractual situations of these potential transfers remain to be seen, Amorim’s reported interest in these players hints at a potentially busy summer transfer window for Liverpool as they seek to strengthen their squad for future campaigns.
