Liverpool intensify transfer move for Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio

22-year-old Portuguese defender Goncalo Inacio has been linked with a move to Anfield over the past few weeks and has been on their radar for a while now. Inacio has established himself as one of the coveted young prospects in European football after helping Sporting lift the Primeira Liga title last season.

Sporting are reportedly holding out for a fee of around £38 million, a steep cut from his release clause at £51m, and this recent price adjustment for Inacio looks an appealing option for any interested parties.

The reduced price tag would make Inacio a perfect acquisition interest amid growing uncertainty around Van Dijk’s future at Liverpool.
