Liverpool ready to trigger the €63 million release clause of a top target soon

Liverpool’s coach Jürgen Klopp is totally focused on winning the Premier League this season, which would have caused the German manager to have started to develop the master lines of his project for the next few months, which would include the signing of several players for the weakest areas of the team.

In this sense, the German manager would have already identified a top center-back to be signed as soon as possible to shield the team’s defense with quality and versatility up front which guarantees the final part of the competition ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City, the main suitors of the Reds in the English league.

According to the Portuguese journal Correio da Manhã, Klopp would have put his eyes on the Portuguese 22-year-old center-back Gonçalo Inacio from Sporting CP and would have already urged the Liverpool owners to make an offer for the player, considered a crucial piece by the Portuguese side.

Liverpool would be forced to pay the player’s release clause

However, Sporting would be reluctant to let the player go in the midseason as it was reported by the Correio sources. The Portuguese side would be reluctant to sell the player before the season ends as they are challenging for the Portuguese league title and leading the tournament, which could make the negotiation with Liverpool difficult in the next few weeks, forcing the Reds to activate the player’s release clause, set at €63 million.
