EXCLUSIVE NEWS: Reports coming from Fabrizio Romano states that they are positive news coming from Manchester United as their target has given a green light to move to United and is seen as a potential boost ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City. The Sporting Lisbon defender has said its his dream to move to the Premier League Giants.
According to reports, Manchester United and Liverpool have an advantage over Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio in their pursuit of him, as the player is rumoured to be dreaming of joining the Premier League.
The gifted Portugal international has shown promise recently. According to a Correio da Manha report that Sport Witness translated and cited, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the player’s suitors. The player hopes to play in England soon.
Inacio appears to be a good fit for either of these teams, as United could use a top young defender to replace players like Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, who have both been in and out of Erik ten Hag’s squad and aren’t getting any younger.
Although Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk, two of Liverpool’s most important players, are getting older, Jurgen Klopp’s team still has a strong defence.
As per the report, Inacio has a release clause worth €60 million, but his price will likely be high because Sporting is unwilling to conduct a sale negotiation.
Teams like United and Liverpool might find that enticing, but they might also believe that there are other players available who are more affordable.
