Sporting Lisbon are not overly concerned about the prospect of losing manager Ruben Amorim to Tottenham Hotspur, according to Portuguese news outlet A Bola.

Tottenham are currently still in the midst of their search for a new permanent head coach following the exit of Antonio Conte in late March which came after his brutally honest assessment of his squad.

The report claims that Amorim is fully focused on the job at hand at Sporting and has been planning for next season for some time.

The Evening Standard reported last week that the 38-year-old is under consideration for the vacancy in north London along with Xabi Alonso, while contact has already been made with Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann.

Tottenham know all too well how difficult it can be to negotiate with Sporting following the protracted transfer of Pedro Porro in January and would once again have to step up to the table should they wish to free Amorim of his contract.

There is a release clause of €20m (£17.5m) in his current contract at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, which can be triggered only by foreign clubs, however, it will reportedly be slashed by 25 per cent to £13.25m (€15m) at the end of the season (Guardian).

SpursWeb Opinion

While Amorim has done a decent job during his stint at Sporting, he would certainly not be the first choice of many Tottenham fans with Nagelsmann, Enrique and even Arne Slot currying favour among the fanbase.

Sporting are likely to miss out on Champions League football next season with Benfica, Porto and Braga all ahead of them in the table.
