Media reports claim that Liverpool are keeping tabs on Gonçalo Inacio, who currently plays as a defender for Sporting. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Liverpool continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. So far in this season, Liverpool are conceding 1.67 goals a game (20 in 12), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Gonçalo Inacio adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Speculation continues to connect Liverpool with Pablo Barrios Rivas, Federico Valverde and Angelo Stiller while no fresh rumours surround Sporting. More on this story as it develops.
