Liverpool's €60m transfer plan cancelled after massive news Liverpool will almost certainly call off a €60m transfer plan after major news. Reports in Portugal this week suggested that Liverpool are looking into a deal for Goncalo Inacio. They're far from alone in that and Apito Final claims Chelsea and Manchester United are also prepared to bid for the defender as he appears set to depart Sporting CP.
Liverpool have been linked with every top-level centre-back, of course. But it now seems that any deal for a new defender is off the table. That comes after Ibrahima Konate publicly admitted that he's close to a new Liverpool contract.
The Frenchman's deal is set to expire in the summer and it certainly appeared that he wasn't going to sign a new one. But very late in the day, it does appear that Liverpool will get a deal done. Doing so completely negates any need to spend another €60m on a centre-back - they've just done that to sign Jeremy Jacquet, of course.
Virgil van Dijk, Konate, Jacquet, Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni is more than enough to cover the position next season. Especially once Leoni gets some post-injury games in. And so we find it hard to believe that the club would still justify such a large amount of money on someone like Inacio.
