Liverpool have reportedly placed Sporting Lisbon centre-back Gonaclo Inacio at the top of they January transfer list.

Central defence has emerged as a key position for the Reds to add to this month, with Joel Matip’s season-ending injury potentially setting Liverpool up for a move for a centre-back this January.

And Inacio is a name that has been linked with an Anfield switch for some timew, with the Portuguese international regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting defenders.

Now, according to CaughtOffside, Liverpool have placed Inacio at the top of their January transfer list, with the Reds potentially looking to move for the Sporting superstar later this month.

Lauded by Record as a ‘phenomenal’ talent, Inacio looks primed to become the next big-name player to make the move from Portugal to the Premier League.

And after this update, there’s every chance that Liverpool could be the side to win the race for Inacio, who might be sold on a move to Merseyside this January window.

Liverpool need to move for Gonaclo Inacio this month

It’s clear that Liverpool have to spend this month if they’re to make a real statement in the Premier League title race this season.

And Inacio could be a dream long-term signing for the Reds, with the Portuguese international ticking all the boxes Liverpool are looking at when it comes to a defensive recruit this month.

Whilst Sporting might put up a fight to keep hold of their star defender, the pull of Liverpool might be too great for Inacio to reject this transfer window.

And the sooner Liverpool put in a bid for Inacio, the sooner the centre-back can be added to the squad, with the Anfield side looking short in central defence as things stand.
