Liverpool are interested in signing the Portuguese international defender Goncalo Inacio from Sporting CP.
The 24-year-old has done quite well for the Portuguese outfit, and Liverpool are keeping tabs on him. They are interested in improving their defensive unit during the January window, and the 24-year-old is one of the names on their wish list, as per CaughtOffside. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer to get the deal done.
Inacio has proven himself to be a quality player for club and country. He could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Liverpool as well. They need to tighten up at the back, and signing the Portuguese International could be a wise decision. He is entering the peak years of his career, and he could be a player for the club in the near future.
Inacio is versatile enough to operate as a central defender as well as a left back. His versatility would be ideal for Liverpool. Furthermore, he will add tactical flexibility to the squad as well. He is capable of operating in a back four as well as a back three.
Inacio could fancy joining the Reds
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure an agreement with his club. There have been reports of them trying to agree on a new deal with Inacio.
Convincing the player to join the club might not be too difficult. He will be excited to take on a new challenge. The move to Liverpool would be a huge opportunity for him, and he will look to prove himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Liverpool have had a disappointing season so far, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They need to plug weaknesses on their side. The central defensive unit is in need of improvement. Ibrahima Konate will also leave the club at the end of the season, and Liverpool must fill the void left by him.
It remains to be seen whether they can secure a reasonable deal with Sporting CP for Inacio. He is still relatively young with a lot of room for improvement. He could be a star for Liverpool in future.
