Following a resounding 5-1 victory against Toulouse in the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp must be delighted with Liverpool’s impressive performance in both domestic and European competitions this season.
The Reds seem to have rediscovered their hunger, eagerly pursuing the Premier League title with the hope of celebrating it in front of their loyal fans.
Presently, it’s a daunting task to pinpoint any weaknesses in Liverpool’s squad, but that doesn’t deter the German manager and his support staff from tirelessly seeking enhancements.
According to reputable sources like SportBild, Liverpool has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to acquire the highly-rated 22-year-old Portuguese defender, Goncalo Inacio.
In contrast, TEAMtalk reports that Manchester United has withdrawn from contention due to financial constraints, as Inacio’s acquisition would require meeting his substantial €60 million release clause (£52.3 million).
With a mere nine goals conceded so far this season, Liverpool boasts one of the most steadfast defenses in the English top-flight. Should Inacio make the move to Anfield in January, he will need to adapt swiftly.
Described as a left-sided center-back with proficiency in ball control and building play from the back, he could potentially be the ideal partner for the Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk. It’s evident why Liverpool is displaying a strong commitment to secure his signature.
