Liverpool: Goncalo Inacio transfer on cards at Anfield after Ruben Amorim update
Sporting Lisbon are braced for a player exodus should Ruben Amorim leave to take charge of Liverpool this summer, according to The Mirror.
Goncalo Inacio is one who could follow Amorim to Anfield should he take over from Jurgen Klopp, with his release clause sitting at £51million.
The newspaper has reported on its website that suitors will start the bidding lower than that, with Amorim the current frontrunner for the job.
Ruben Amorim to become new Liverpool manager
It is already said that a verbal agreement is in place between the two parties for next season and beyond, although that has been downplayed now.
With trophies still to be won at Sporting Lisbon though, no manager would come out and confirm those reports towards the end of a busy season in Portugal.
Klopp has seen his side crash out of the Europa League this week, leaving the Premier League as his last chance for silverware in England.
After plenty of injuries throughout his squad, new signings are certainly needed whoever comes in and Ignacio could tick a lot of boxes alongside Virgil van Dijk.
Ibrahima Konate has been injured frequently, as well as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, with more options needed at the back.
It will be a huge summer of change at Anfield, that is for certain, and kicking it off with the double arrival of Amorim and Ignacio would be incredible work.
