Liverpool and Newcastle United have not given up their pursuit of Gonçalo Inácio, the promising defender from Sporting CP, despite failing to secure his signing in the recent transfer window. Both Premier League clubs had shown strong interest in the young Portuguese center back during the summer, and reportedly, they are prepared to reignite their efforts to secure his services in the near future.

Since his promotion to the Sporting CP first team in 2020, Inácio has proven to be a defensive stalwart, becoming a key figure both at the Lisbon club and in the Portuguese national team. His notable performances have attracted high-profile teams, and both Liverpool and Newcastle United considered his signing a priority to strengthen their respective defenses.

The 2 clubs set to battle for Inácio's signing

-Liverpool: Liverpool, in search of a defensive reinforcement, had Inácio at the top of their target list. However, the high release clause of €60 million posed a significant barrier. Despite the admiration the Merseyside club holds for the player, the amount proved to be an insurmountable obstacle at that time.

-Newcastle: On the other hand, Newcastle United also showed genuine interest in Inácio, especially following the injuries to Sven Botman and captain Jamaal Lascelles. Eddie Howe was seeking a high-quality center back to bolster his squad, and the young Portuguese fit that profile. Nevertheless, the high cost also deterred the Magpies' team.
