Liverpool is said to have also agreed with Sporting to buy the coach out of his contract for 10m.
In the final phase of the negotiations, however, Sporting chose to change their mind - and doubled the price tag for Amorim to 20m.
Hence, Liverpool chose to back out of the negotiations, and the recruitment collapsed.
