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

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?

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.
