Another day, another tasty rumor about who Barcelona will appoint as the club’s next manager after Xavi steps down at the end of the season.

Hansi Flick has appeared to be the favorite but it appears he’s been usurped by Sporting boss Ruben Amorim.

Miguel Delaney at The Independent says Barca have “currently put the Portuguese ahead of other options” and hope to win the race for his signature.

Liverpool are also said to be keen on Amorim but he’s not their first option. Xabi Alonso remains the Reds’ favorite but is also wanted at Bayern Munich.
