Goncalo Inacio has been strongly associated with Liverpool, and sources suggest that Anfield is prioritizing him as a defensive reinforcement.
According to today’s Correio da Manha Weekend, Liverpool is still “preparing a proposal” to sign the Sporting CP international.
The well-known media source in Britain reports and implies that the 22-year-old center half is a “priority of Jurgen Klopp.
“According to CM Jornal, the Lions are requesting that the £51.6 million contract termination clause be activated in order to “release the defender.”
Sporting leads the Primeira Liga after eighteen games, but they are only one point ahead of the defending champions, Benfica.
Inacio is the leader of their defense, especially without Ousmane Diomande,
who is playing in the African Cup of Nations, and they need to hang on to their great players in order to stay in first place.
The Lisbon-based team will be powerless to stop the Seleccao star if Liverpool activates the £51.6 million clause and convinces him to depart this month.
Joel Matip’s contract at Anfield expires in the summer, and Klopp needs to replace him.
The Reds also need to consider the long term because their captain, 32-year-old Virgil van Dijk, is also a veteran, so the team must plan ahead.
Inacio, who has made five appearances for Portugal and has yet to concede a goal,
will likely be a key member of the team when they compete in the European Championship.
Do you think Liverpool should make a £51.6 million bid to sign Goncalo Inacio before this month’s transfer deadline expires?
