The players are having a day off but the news keeps coming as Liverpool recover from beating Burnley in the Premier League.
Harmless rumors are back
With plenty of Liverpool games keeping us busy, there has been little time for transfer rumours. However, we can expect them to increase significantly in the coming days.
One of the last men linked is Gonçalo Inacio. You may recognize his name because reports have linked Liverpool with the Sporting Lisbon defender before.
This time, it is the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Noticias who link it. Journalist Luis Antunes wrote that Inácio is “surrounded by Liverpool” and is “on Liverpool’s radar.”
However, there is said to be a “€60 million (release) clause”, that is, around £52 million, if we take the words literally.
This is really a loose link but, with Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas out, a left-sided defender could be a priority area for Klopp, in the January transfer window.
