Goncalo Inacio is left footed ball-playing midfielder currently plying his trade at Sporting Lisbon. The 21-year-old center-back started his career at Almada, a local Portuguese club. Later he joined Sporting Lisbon's academy.

A player of Inacio's profile is generally quite rare in the market. He is a very young center-back who generally plays a left-sided center-back with distribution and the progressive ball being his major strengths. Liverpool might play in a there at the back system next year as Trent Alexander Arnold's inverted role suggests the same. Due to his unique strength, the young Portuguese center half may thrive in this set up.

Liverpool have also been linked with a move to sign young propitious center-back Levi Colwill. However, with Wesley Fofana being out for a prolonged period to an ACL injury means that it is almost certain that he will remain at Stamford Bridge next season.

Inacio would add a different dynamic to Reds' backline and he could be a long-term partner to Ibrahima Konate.
