Spanish outlet Nacional (via Paisley Gates) now reports that the Reds would be prepared to offer the 22-year-old defender a starting role in the team to persuade him over alternative suitors.
This comes amid alleged interest from La Liga superpowers Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Portuguese centre-back will not be allowed to depart Sporting for anything less than his £52.5m release clause.
Whilst that figure shouldn’t necessarily deter us in the upcoming window, we’re struggling to wrap our heads around the club reportedly offering a starting role.
With Virgil van DIjk back to his imperious best, Jurgen Klopp surely couldn’t sanction such a move?
That would then mean either pushing out Ibrahima Konate and playing Inacio in a less natural position, or a tactical switch-up that would allow him to feature in a back three, similar to what he’s currently experiencing.
Quite a lot of change just for one, albeit talented, centre-back signing.
