Inacio transfer: Liverpool scout Sporting centre-back

Inacio transfer: Liverpool scout Sporting centre-back

Liverpool have scouted Sporting Lisbon centre-back Goncalo Inacio in recent times amid links with Ruben Amorim, his manager at the Portuguese giants.

According to Ben Jacobs, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, there is not any particularly concrete interest from Liverpool in Inacio right now, but just a normal level of monitoring for a talented young player.

The 22-year-old has looked hugely impressive at Sporting, forming part of an exciting squad put together by Amorim, who is also widely regarded as one of Europe’s top up-and-coming managers.

With Amorim seemingly in contention to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this summer, it’s perhaps not too surprising that we’re also seeing Inacio linked with Liverpool, but Jacobs has played those transfer rumours down in his latest column.

“Amorim is inevitably going to get an interview, there is pretty much no doubt about that, but so will other managers. Liverpool, as ever, have a process and aren’t going to rush anything or put all their hopes on one candidate alone. That’s just not how they work. Their search will be discreet and thorough. The way they carry out these types of senior leadership and football appointments is a credit to the club.
