Fabrizio Romano has denied that Goncalo Inacio will join Liverpool in January.
CaughtOffside columnist confirmed that the Reds are actively tracking the Portugal international, although the situation is “uncertain” at the moment.
Will Goncalo Inacio go to Liverpool? We have been talking about Inacio and Liverpool for three or four years. I heard that Liverpool will sign Inacio.
But he’s the one who usually links Inacio to Liverpool,” the Italian journalist told Kick (via The Boot Room). “I don’t know of any change at the moment.
This is a player we have been looking for for a long time, but there are no concrete details,” he said.
The Merseysiders are said to be interested in the prospect of strengthening their defensive line when the perfect opportunity presents itself.
Is Inacio the “perfect” profile?
When you think of a left centre-back, you immediately think of a replica of Virgil van Dijk, or at least something similar. Inacio fits a creative profile and is very involved in the creation of the concours.
His lack of aerial dominance may be why we haven’t made a move yet. Why pass up signing a potential elite centre-back with a £51.7m release clause?
Seems like fair compensation for a quality quarterback, right? Maybe it’s not a very good profile. Otherwise, I think you can get Inacio cheaper this summer.
