Along with Ruben Amorim, Liverpool are looking for new signings this summer, and Fabrizio Romano has shed some light on one of their targets.

Jurgen Klopp‘s side have had a tough two weeks, haven’t they?

The Reds suffered a couple of setbacks in the Premier League, drawing at Manchester United and then suffering a 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace.

Then, Liverpool were knocked out of the Europa League by Atalanta, which leaves Klopp with just the Premier League title to fight for.

Liverpool have a solid squad at the moment, but they could do with reinforcements at the back.

Virgil van Dijk is not getting any younger, while Joel Matip is almost guaranteed to leave the club as a free agent when his contract expires this summer.

Sporting Lisbon star Goncalo Inacio is one of them, and reports have claimed that Ruben Amorim wants to bring him to Anfield if he becomes the next Liverpool manager.

Inacio, still only 22, is highly rated in Portugal and is destined to move to a bigger club very soon.

Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Liverpool are ‘definitely’ scouting the £55 million defender and could make a move for him this summer.

When asked if Amorim becoming Liverpool manager can play a part in a move for Inacio, Romano told GiveMeSport: “Yeah, of course.

So, this is why Liverpool have been following him for a long time.”

It seems clear now that Ruben Amorim is the favourite to become the next Liverpool manager.

Xabi Alonso has made it clear that he will not be moving, while Roberto De Zerbi is no longer in contention for the Reds job.

Amorim seems like the man, and Liverpool have offered him a three-year contract to convince him to leave Sporting Lisbon and move to Anfield.
