Recent Liverpool news: One injured player is making his way out the door, while the Reds may try to sign a $64 million center-back in the January transfer window.
Gonçalo Inácio is reportedly a transfer target for Liverpool, and following the most recent injury update from Jürgen Klopp, midfielder Thiago appears to be leaving as a free agent more and more frequently.
In the event of additional injuries, Liverpool could ‘accelerate its chase’ of Sporting center-back Gonçalo Inácio, according to Football Insider.
Ibrahima Konaté’s three-week absence from the field due to a muscle ailment has already caused problems for the Reds in that area, and the fitness records of Jol Matip and Joe Gomez must also raise questions.
Liverpool is also looking to bolster its defense with a left-footed center-back after failing to do so during the summer transfer window, and Inácio has surfaced as a possible candidate.
Sporting presently leads the Primeira Liga with six victories and one tie after seven games, so they might not want to sell the 22-year-old, but they won’t have much of a choice if a prospective buyer triggers the $64 million (£52 million/€60 million) release clause in the deal he signed in August.
