During last summer’s transfer window, Liverpool focused on acquiring a left-handed center back in addition to replacing their midfielders.
They were reportedly linked with various targets, including Chelsea defender Levi Colwill and Tottenham defender Mickey van de Ven.
As a result, Liverpool concentrated on strengthening its midfield, affected by the unexpected departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were welcomed into the team and effectively replaced.
Still, interest in the left-handed center back has not waned. While Liverpool is said to be in the hunt for Portuguese defender Goncalo Inácio, who continues to be scouted by the Premier League, Arsenal is leading the battle, according to to A BOLA.
The player, who extended his contract with his club Sporting last August, has a termination fee of 60 million euros. It is believed that any club would be open to negotiations if he pays that amount, and prestigious clubs are following the player’s movements.
Manchester United and other clubs are interested in the young center back, but will he make the step up this winter?
