Premier League giants Liverpool are keeping a close eye on Sporting Portugal's defensive starlet Inacio in the final stages of the summer transfer window and are considering making a move for the young defender before the deadline, according to a new report from leading soccer outlet CaughtOffside.
Sources have revealed that Inacio has been on Liverpool's radar for some time now as one of the potential options to bolster the Reds' backline. However, it's worth noting that Liverpool aren't betting all their treasure on Inacio, as they're also keeping an eye on other defenders for various possible transfer scenarios.
In addition, Van Dyke's future has also become an important factor in Liverpool's reinforcement decision. As the core of the team's defense, Van Dyke's contract will expire in the summer of next year, and Liverpool obviously hope that he can continue to stay in the team, to contribute more power for the team. Therefore, before Van Dyke's stay is clear, Liverpool is cautious about whether to introduce Inacio and other defenders, and is not willing to make a decision too early.
Liverpool also have alternatives ready should Van Dyke eventually choose to leave. Players such as Antonio Silva and Bremmer have been seen as potential replacements, and both have the ability to play an important role in Liverpool's back line.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is also keeping an eye on Japanese star Kaoru Sanfelt, even though he is not the team's number one reinforcement target this summer. But in the long run, Kaoru's potential and strength are worth Liverpool's attention, and he may become an important member of the team in the future.
It is worth noting that Liverpool's current manager, Sloter, is satisfied with the team's current lineup and is not eager to bring in new recruits. He believes that the team already has a strong squad and only needs to fine-tune individual positions. Therefore, unless they can find a realistic price and outstanding players, Liverpool is unlikely to carry out large-scale attraction action in the last stage of the summer window.
