Arne Slot’s splashy transfer to Liverpool for the Sporting star exacerbates Amorim’s injuries.
Goncalo Inacio is a key target for Liverpool, and Arne Slot could raid Sporting Lisbon to obtain him, accordingn to rumors, adding to Ruben Amorim’s misery. Following Xabi Alonso’s choice to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool executives accelerated their search for a replacement for Jurgen Klopp and started speaking with Amorim. The Portuguese seemed open to accepting a three-year contract from Liverpool. However, it then surfaced that Amorim had traveled to London to have negotiations with West Ham United, Liverpool’s Premier League rivals. Liverpool ended their interest in Amorim because they believed his agency was using West Ham’s interest as pressure to try to gain a higher contract deal.
Rather, Liverpool and Feyenoord have reached an agreement to pay £9 million for Slot to become head coach. In the midst of rumors that Liverpool would sign Amorim, the Merseyside giants were predicted to sign Inacio, Viktor Gyokeres, Morten Hjulmand, and Ousmane Diomande—some of Sporting’s top players. Amorim is no longer going to Anfield, but Inacio might still take that action. According to CaughtOffside, Slot has stated that finding a left-footed center back is his main summer objective, and Inacio is the ideal candidate.
Even though Inacio is only 22 years old, he already has all the makings of a sophisticated performer at the greatest level. Slot wants to see Virgil van Dijk’s contract extended by Liverpool, but Inacio may eventually take over as the aging Dutchman’s backup in defense. Like the majority of the best players in Portugal, Inacio is transferable, albeit at a high cost. Before making a deal with Sporting, Liverpool must match his €60 million (£51.5 million) release clause.
Arne Slot wants to go to the top of Liverpool Though the initial conversations between the two parties did not go well, Amorim, the sporting man, has resurfaced on West Ham’s radar and is still motivated to manage in the Premier League. However, West Ham and Julen Lopetegui are also having “advanced” talks. If Lopetegui is appointed to the West Ham position and Liverpool signs Inacio from Sporting, Slot will just be adding salt to Amorim’s wounds.
Additional details about Liverpool’s potential summer transfer ambitions are also included in the paper. Even though the Reds anticipate that Mo Salah will remain with the team, Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia will still make a “monster offer.”
