It may have been a couple of months since Liverpool were last linked to Sporting defender Gonçalo Inácio, but the Portuguese media hasn’t forgotten about that chase.
The Reds’ pursuit is today recalled by O Jogo, who now claim that the Anfield side are actually interested in two of the Lions’ centre-backs.
The newspaper’s main story is about Ousmane Diomande, who’s having a great season for Sporting and is now drawing interest from several European sides.
Liverpool get a mention there, as they’re named in a battle which includes the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Newcastle United.
When speaking of the Reds, O Jogo then adds that they’ve also been watching Diomande’s partner Gonçalo Inácio.
Sporting are expected to use the players’ release clause to negotiate in the summer. That means the initial request for Diomande will be €80m, while Inácio’s is €60m.
With Liverpool following both, they’ll certainly have enough information to make the best decision.
