Goncalo Inacio, a defender for Sporting CP, is a target for Liverpool.
When the transfer market reopens in January, according to a Football Insider report, they may try to step up their chase of the 22-year-old defender.
According to reports, Liverpool wanted to bring in a left-sided center back during the summer transfer window as well. For Sporting CP, Inacio has established himself as an important player, and he may turn out to be a good long-term investment.
The 22-year-old is adaptable enough to play left back as well, and Jurgen Klopp may find him to be a helpful option.
Inacio clearly fits the bill for Liverpool, who need someone to give their team more depth. The Portuguese defender can be used as a left back depending on the opposition, which will give the Liverpool defense more security.
The 22-year-old can also play in both a back four and a back three. His addition will also increase the side’s tactical adaptability.
Inacio’s contract contains a £52 million release clause, and it is unknown if Liverpool will honor it. The Premier League’s juggernauts have without a doubt the financial means to complete the transaction. Sporting CP will not want to lose the Portuguese international for little money because he is a regular starter for them. It is reasonable to believe that Liverpool will have to significantly overpay for his release in order to get his signature.
