Klopp eyes Inacio as key defensive partner for Van Dijk in January transfer window
Liverpool is seemingly preparing a big bid in the January transfer window to secure the services of Sporting Lisbon’s outstanding central defender, Goncalo Inacio, in a provocative move to reinforce their defensive lineup.
The 22-year-old has captured the interest of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who is looking for a strong partner for the returning Virgil van Dijk.
According to TEAMTalk, Liverpool has been closely tracking Inacio for over two years and is now ready to make an attempt.
This season, the Portuguese international has made 10 starts and one substitute appearance in the Primeira Liga, and he has also made four appearances in the UEFA Europa League.
Although Liverpool confronts tough competition for defensive quality, the club appears unconcerned and is willing to match Inacio’s £52 million release clause.
The deal shows Liverpool’s solve to expand their team without wrangling over money, relying on the scouting department’s judgment.
As Klopp seeks to strengthen Liverpool’s defense, the possible arrival of Inacio might be critical in strengthening the club’s title hopes.
Liverpool appears ready to make a huge statement in the coming transfer window, with faith in their scouting team and a clear goal in mind.
