Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)

Liverpool has identified Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush as a top target for the upcoming summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

The Reds talisman could well persuade his countryman Marmoush about a move to Anfield.

Gonçalo Inácio (Sporting CP)

Liverpool is pushing to sign Sporting Club de Portugal defender Gonçalo Inácio in the summer transfer window, according to O Jogo

As well as the 22-year-old centre-back, Liverpool is also interested in completing a double Sporting CP transfer swoop by acquiring teammate Ousmane Diomande

Scouts from top clubs across Europe have been sent to watch the 20-year-old, who can play in defense or in midfield.

The pair are likely to cost a combined $140m (£110m/€129m), with Inácio's release clause standing at $65m (£51m/€60m) while Diomande's is even higher at $75m (£59m/€69m).

The links come amid speculation that Sporting boss Rúben Amorim is a leading candidate for the Liverpool job after Xabi Alonso ruled himself out of the running.
