Apart from luring a quality defensive

midfielder, the Reds must sign a top

defender to improve the backline at Anfield.

Liverpool are prepared to press on with a

move to bring a new center back this

summer and the top target is Goncalo Inaicio.

Sporting CP star has won multiple titles in

Portugal including the Liga Nos in the 2020-

21 season and he is an extremely important

member of the Lions squad.

Today’s version of Jornal de Noticias, the

Lisbon club have been trying to agree a new

deal that will not only increase his salary

but also increase the exit clause.

However, so far, the player has turned down

the renewal approaches made by the club

and his current release clause remains at

45million euros (£38.7m).

JN claim if Liverpool activates the £38.7m

clause, Sporting will be able to do nothing to

prevent the transfer and everything will

depend on the player’s willingness to move

to England.

also found the net 4 times and made 3 assists.
