The Premier League’s top teams, Liverpool and Manchester United, are vying for the signing of Sporting CP’s Goncalo Inacio in order to bolster their defenses.
The Reds, Red Devils, and Real Madrid are interested in attracting the Portuguese international in January, according to a story that was published by Correio da Manha.
News: Liverpool has made approaches to sign a player that would cost £650,000 a week.
Inacio’s contract contains a 60 million euro (£52.6 million) release clause, and the Lions have already stated that their players will only depart if their individual release conditions are fulfilled.
Tomorrow night, league leaders, Sporting, will collide against, reigning champions, Benfica, in the Lisbon derby and all the eyes will be on the 22-year-old center half.
CM Jornal claim that representatives of Madrid, Liverpool and United would be present to observe the performance of the defender.
It is reported that Man Utd are even ready to activate the release clause £52.6m to sign Inacio but they have set a payment plan.
The Old Trafford outfit intend to beat competition by paying 45 million euros as a fixed fee and 15 million euros in add-ons.
United have good relations with Sporting and their current captain, Bruno Fernandes, a former Lions superstar, could convince Inacio to join him.
Jurgen Klopp must strengthen the defense that has been highly inconsistent for over an year. Van Dijk and Matip are past their prime and a young leader for the future should be lured.
In your view, who should Liverpool sign to improve the backline in January?
