Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio is a transfer target for Manchester United but Liverpool have scouted the player in their hopes of a transfer hijack.
The Portuguese defender had previously been earmarked as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire for this year, but the former United captain remained at Old Trafford after his transfer to West Ham broke down despite the club’s agreeing a £30million deal.
A report in Portuguese outlet A Bola has detailed how Liverpool scouted the Portugal international during last week’s international clash at Bosnia, where they won 5-0. The 22-year-old now appears to be at the heart of a transfer battle between the two clubs.
