Liverpool has entered the Arne Slot era and that has seen the beginning of the summer transfer period.
After a series of exits took place at Anfield last month, the Reds are still in the hunt for their first new addition since Slot took charge.
Having played only one match that was the pre-season friendly match which the team lost 1-0 to Championship side Preston North End thus, the fans have nothing much to cheer about so far.
But that is the end of the bad news; there is good news on the horizon.
Liverpool seems to be waiting for the opportunity to start the transfers.
To date, the club has expressed particular interest in Sporting Lisbon’s defender Goncalo Inacio with planning of making an offer.
This summer, Liverpool wants to establish a left-footed centre-back, and Inacio played for Portugal in Euro 2024.
Correio da Manha, a Portuguese outlet, writes that Sporting Lisbon has always insisted on letting Inacio go for no less than £51 million but has now said that it is willing to discuss the latter’s transfer for £38 million.
This lower sum is seen as a possible relative-value purchase for Liverpool, with whom the 22-year-old defender has been associated for quite some time.

Liverpool’s addition of Inacio would be specific since he would serve an important function for the team.
The Reds have had issues with their defensive lineup in the last couple of seasons and the addition of a left-footed partnership like Inacio could prove to stabilise this team.
His display for both Sporting Lisbon and his national team has exposed him and thus makes him a perfect fit for Liverpool’s upcoming defensive signing.
First, Liverpool’s signing of Inacio exemplifies proactive behavior in the transfer market and a new approach in line with Slot’s plans.
Therefore, despite the fact that Arne Slot initially did not have a hot summer at Liverpool in transfer market, the subsequent attempts like that associated with Goncalo Inacio appears to be promising.
As the season goes by, loyal supporters of Liverpool can expect the signing of a quality defender who could prove instrumental in transforming the outlook of the club.
