Liverpool will hold informal conversations with the agent of a defensive target after the player’s representative travelled to England.
The Reds have been quiet in this transfer window as they are yet to bring in any new players.
Very recently they put in a big push to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi but the Spaniard rejected a move to Anfield.
Now Arne Slot wants to bring in a centre-back as Joel Matip departed and Sepp van den Berg could go, amid big interest in him.
Sporting Lisbon international Goncalo Inacio is a player Liverpool like and they were linked with him last year as well.
According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, the Sporting Lisbon defender’s agent has travelled to England to speak to Liverpool.
The discussions though are just informal conversations rather than solid deal talks, though Liverpool have a real interest.
The 22-year-old left-footed central defender is considered an important part of Ruben Amorim’s side as he played 49 times for the Portuguese giants last term.
The release clause in his contract is set at €60m.
