    The Dutchman appears to be confident in obtaining solid results from the start of next season, and one of his primary requirements is to strengthen the defensive.

    The Reds wants Goncalo Inacio.

    According to CaughtOffside sources familiar with Slot’s plans, Sporting’s excellent centre-back Goncalo Inacio, whom Liverpool has been pursuing since last November, is the club’s primary goal.

    In January, the Portuguese defender decided to stay with Sporting until the conclusion of the season for personal reasons.

    However, he is now ready to make the big move to the Premier League, with Liverpool seeking to finalise his transfer in the coming weeks.

    Keeping with the Reds defence, Virgil van Dijk’s position must be observed.

    His contract will expire in June 2025, and conversations over his renewal have stalled. As a result, the Saudi Pro League continues to view him as a top priority.

    In midfield, Liverpool is pursuing Feyenoord’s Quinten Timber, a player Slot also values; however, there is fierce competition for his services, with several Italian and German clubs interested.

    The Anfield club has requested information on the potential costs of the operation for Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, but Newcastle, AC Milan, and Manchester United are also in the running, so Liverpool are unlikely to have it all their own.

    Liverpool might make it third time lucky in the Real Madrid transfer rivalry this summer.

    Leny Yoro

    Latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip, with Lille defender Leny Yoro surfacing as a target for the Reds this summer, alongside Real Madrid and Manchester United.

    Liverpool appear to be preparing to compete with Real Madrid for another summer acquisition.

    This summer, the Reds are likely to be looking for numerous new signings. Arne Slot, the new head coach, will begin directing pre-season training next month and may help integrate new arrivals to his roster when the team travels to the United States for three friendly matches. One player that has been linked with a move to Liverpool is Leny Yoro.

    The Lille centre-back has emerged as a target for the Reds during Slot’s inaugural summer transfer window.

    The ECHO knows that Liverpool is keeping an eye on Yoro with the intention of making a transfer this summer, while Manchester United is also understood to be interested. However, the Reds are aware that Real Madrid is interested in the midfielder, and it is expected that Yoro would transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu due to his desire to join the La Liga giants.

    However, Liverpool has a chance of beating the Spanish club to Yoro’s signature this summer. If a deal to Real Madrid fails, the Reds are ready to step up their pursuit of the centre-back.

    Liverpool has faced a summer transfer war with the La Liga champions before. The Reds planned to recruit Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco in 2022, but the France international ended up moving to Spain for a fee of up to £85 million instead.

    Just a year later, Liverpool was reportedly interested in signing Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. Despite the Reds’ long-standing interest in the midfielder, Bellingham chose to sign to transfer to Madrid, and the club lost yet another target.

    Liverpool may hope for a different outcome in 2024. If Yoro prefers a move to Madrid and the La Liga heavyweights have the resources to execute the transaction, the Reds may not have much hope.

    However, Liverpool appears to be sticking in the race in the hope that an opportunity may occur. Following Joel Matip’s departure, the Reds might use a new centre-back, and Yoro would be an excellent choice.

    Current Liverpool news: Gonçalo Inácio, defender for Sporting CP, is planning a summer transfer. Unexpected international call-ups could happen to Reds players.

    Liverpool will now want to finish the Jürgen Klopp era with two more victories as they have guaranteed a spot back in the Champions League for the following campaign. The Reds play Wolves on the last day of the season after visiting Aston Villa on Monday night. The summer and possible acquisitions are already taking centre stage, with a defensive target reportedly considering a transfer to the Premier League. This is your summary of the most recent Liverpool news.

    Sporting CP defender Gonçalo Inácio has reportedly set his sights on a move to the Premier League this summer. The Reds, who are anticipated to sign at least one defender, have made the 22-year-old a possible target.

    Inácio has also drawn interest from Manchester United and Newcastle and Caught Offside believes he is keen to improve his career with a move to England. If those parties decide to move forward, he won’t come cheaply.

    Before considering any offers, Sporting is allegedly going to insist that the defender’s $65 million (£52 million/€60 million) release clause be fully paid. In recent months, Ousmane Diomande, Inácio’s teammate, has also been connected to the Reds.

    Having already earned six senior caps for Portugal, Inácio hopes to compete this summer at the European Championships. Remarkable results in Germany will probably pique the interest of other clubs.

    When Joël Matip’s contract expires at the end of the season, Liverpool will need to find a replacement. Joe Gomez’s long-term future at Anfield is also up in the air.

    Could Doak get an unexpected call-up to Scotland?

    The Liverpool star is "set for surprise boost" following an injury, and Gonçalo Inácio's transfer "preference" is evident.

    Ben Doak, a young player for Liverpool, can possibly have a happy finish to his terrible season if he is called up to the Scotland squad for the European Championships. Doak had surgery in December for a knee issue, and he has only made one appearance this term.

    The 18-year-old has resumed training, and Scotland manager Steve Clarke will give him every chance to demonstrate his fitness. Although he hasn’t made his senior debut yet, Doak has shown promise with the Under-21 team.

    Furthermore, The Scotsman claims that Clarke is thinking of giving Doak a spot in his team. This summer’s tournament will have squad sizes of 26 instead of 23, as stated by UEFA, which may provide an opportunity for the Liverpool young player.

    Doak’s speed off the bench might be a weapon for Clarke’s team, as Scotland enters the Euros with a plethora of injury concerns. Scotland’s group stage opponents include Switzerland, Hungary, and the host country, Germany.

    Liverpool is reportedly planning a bid for Goncalo Inacio, a center-back for Sporting Lisbon who is also reportedly being watched

    Liverpool is reportedly planning a bid for Goncalo Inacio, a center-back for Sporting Lisbon who is also reportedly being watched by Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the January transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

    Spurs are reportedly targeting a number of names as potential centre backs in January, according to reports that have been circulating for the past month (GiveMeSport).

    Ange Postecoglou’s team has a number of candidates on their short list for central defence, including Inacio, Marc Guehi, Jarrad Branthwaite, Malick Thiaw, and Morato of Sporting Lisbon, according to a report published in The Daily Mail earlier this week.

    Over the past few years, the 22-year-old has emerged as one of the greatest centre backs in the Primeira Liga, and in the last few months, he has proven to be a regular starter for the Portuguese national team.

    When summer addition Micky van de Ven was sidelined until the new year due to a catastrophic hamstring injury sustained during Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s 4-1 loss to Chelsea earlier this month, it dealt a severe blow to the team’s defence.

    Liverpool is considering Inacio.

    According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has his sights set on Sporting defender Virgil van Dijk as a potential new defensive partner.

    The source adds that Inacio is willing to transfer to Anfield in January and that the Reds have been watching him intently for a few years.

    It is clarified, nevertheless, that Sporting does not want to lose the defender midway through the campaign, and that any interested teams would need to pay his £52 million release clause in order to approve his departure.

    We signed Micky van de Ven before Liverpool did, and I’m sure the Reds would prefer to prevent a repeat of that in January. They should promptly fulfil the defender’s release clause, in my opinion.

    After pushing the North Londoners to the brink of a deal for Pedro Porro last year, Tottenham are all too aware that Sporting is willing to stick to their guns when it comes to a player’s worth.

    FSG should think about Liverpool making a U-turn after opposing Chelsea and Man City.

    Owner of Liverpool, FSG, may have to take the 'can't beat them, join them' tack after a recent Premier League match saw it lose to severalOwner of Liverpool, FSG, may have to take the ‘can’t beat them, join them’ tack after a recent Premier League match saw it lose to several of its rivals.

    Everton, Liverpool’s local rival, was given a 10-point deduction during the international break for violating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. The club has already declared that it will challenge the decision.

    It is possible that tens of thousands of supporters will be carrying signs calling for the Premier League to be ‘corrupt’ on Sunday when it plays its first match since the scandal surfaced (via talkSPORT).

    It was quite unexpected to hear that the club agreed this week at a league meeting to continue a contentious practise, given the events at Goodison Park. The 20 clubs in the competition were asked if they supported a temporary restriction on “related-party loans,” or transfers between teams that share owners. However, the motion only needed 14 votes to pass, even though 12 teams supported it.

    It’s important to emphasise that, should one of these transactions take place in January, there won’t be anything “corrupt” about it because it complies with all legal requirements. But when you witness a deal between two clubs connected in this way, you may definitely doubt sporting integrity.

    Owner of Liverpool, FSG, may have to take the 'can't beat them, join them' tack after a recent Premier League match saw it lose to several

    It is no accident that five of the eight clubs who opposed the proposal are already a part of official multi-club networks (Manchester City and Sheffield United) or informal ones (Chelsea, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest), and two more could join soon. Standard Liege in Belgium and Genoa in Italy are already under the ownership of possible owners Everton 777 Partners, according to The Athletic, who are now ‘exploring potential partner clubs’ at Burnley.

    It is becoming more and more obvious that the current trend will continue unchecked if Premier League teams remain in control of multi-club models, which are rapidly expanding. Therefore, if the ban had been implemented, it would have had symbolic significance as a step towards restricting their reach.

    The owner of Liverpool, FSG, is left with two options: either accept that change may be inevitable and start actively seeking out other teams to join so that it can reallocate its footballing assets, or stick to its principles, albeit probably in vain.

    If it waits too long, it can find itself in a position where it falls behind its rivals by years in terms of model sophistication or where it doesn’t profit from talent development and income. It’s a cynical attitude, to be sure, but maybe it’s time to admit that you have to join them since you can’t beat them.
