According to reports, Miguel Pinho, the representative for Sporting Lisbon centre-back Goncalo Inacio, is scheduled to meet with Liverpool soon to discuss the club’s interest in the 22-year-old defender. This move suggests that Liverpool is genuinely interested in acquiring Inacio, who has a €45m release clause in his contract.
Liverpool has been monitoring Inacio for “years” and he matches the profile of a young, skilled centre-back the team desires. His strong distribution skills and versatility in various defensive roles make him a promising candidate for Jurgen Klopp’s lineup.
The upcoming meeting will likely involve presenting a transfer proposal to Pinho, which could potentially lead to an agreement. However, Sporting Lisbon might still insist on the full €60m release clause, which could present a challenge for Liverpool. Nevertheless, this development shows that Liverpool is actively working to secure Inacio and is open to negotiations.
