‘Scouted for a long time’: Fabrizio Romano just poured cold water over potential Liverpool transfer

Fabrizio Romano has played down reports linking Goncalo Inacio to a Liverpool switch in January.

The CaughtOffside columnist did confirm that the Reds have been actively scouting the Portuguese international, though things are far from ‘concrete’ at the moment.

“Goncalo Inacio to Liverpool? We’ve had this story on Inacio and Liverpool for three or four years we hear that Liverpool are close to signing Inacio, but it’s usually the same person linking Inacio to Liverpool,” the Italian reporter told Kick (via The Boot Room). “At the moment I’m not aware of a change, he’s a player they have scouted for a long time, but it’s not something concrete.”

The Merseysiders are said to remain keen on the prospect of bolstering their backline should an ideal opportunity arise.
