Liverpool spent the summer transfer window trying to fix their midfield.
Four midfield signings were brought in to replace the likes of Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian and Fabinho.
For the most part, the Reds have improved their midfield, though question marks still remain over whether they have a good enough defensive midfielder to compete at the highest level this season.
Regardless, Liverpool’s focus on their midfield means they neglected other areas of the pitch, including centre-back.
Joel Matip is now past his best and Joe Gomez has been very inconsistent over the last several years.
Now though, according to a report from Anfield Watch, Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio has been identified as a target by the Reds and Liverpool have set aside a budget of around €70 million in order to improve their defence.
Inacio has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea over the past few months.
