Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio has been linked with a move to the Premier League recently and Liverpool are keen on signing him.
A report from Team Talk claims that the Liverpool target wants to join the Premier League in the coming months and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Inacio is highly rated around Europe and he has a big future ahead of him.
It is no secret that Liverpool need to bring in a quality central defender who can operate as a full-back as well. Inacio would be a superb acquisition for them and the talented young defender could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance.
The opportunity to play for a Premier League club can be hard to turn down and Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in Europe stop
The Reds certainly have the financial means to pay the £52 million asking price and the 22-year-old defender has the ability to justify the investment as well.
Ibrahima konate and Virgil van Dijk are the only reliable central defenders at the club right now and signing Inacio could prove to be a wise decision.
He can operate as the left-sided central defender as well as a left-back. Furthermore, his arrival will add tactical versatility to the side. The Portuguese international can operate in a back three as well as a back four.
Liverpool are unlikely to be the only club keen on signing him and it remains to be seen whether the Merseyside outfit can win the race for his signature.
A player of his potential might want to join a club in the Champions League and therefore Liverpool would have to ensure that they are in the conversation for a top four finish come the January transfer window.
Liverpool have started the season reasonably well and they will fancy their chances of returning to the UEFA Champions League at the end of the season.
