He betrayed Cristiano Ronaldo and would now help Klopp sign the world's best defender

The days of coach Jürgen Klopp are numbered, as the 23/24 pre-season is underway and with it, the final cut to the list of players who have arrived at the AXA Training Center where since last Saturday have paraded players such as Fabinho, Darwin Nunez, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, etc..

Despite this list, which as the days go by will increase in number, the German wants another star signing to help reinforce the defensive area that gave him so many headaches during the season. Now Klopp is teaming up with the man who betrayed Cristiano Ronaldo, the latest legend from the Red's bitter rivals Manchester United.

Jorge Mendes became Ronaldo's enemy number one the moment he left for Arabia, closing off the possibility of retiring in the best football in the world, Europe. One of the gems Mendes represents is Goncalo Inacio, the Sporting Lisbon star who became an undisputed starter last season.

Klopp's alliance

Inacio is 21 years old and according to Transfermarkt has a price tag of 30 million euros, an amount the Red's could afford for the Portuguese player, who they see as a player who also has a presence in the Portuguese national team. Inacio came through the Lions youth ranks in 2020, and has since completed the filters for the first team, where he made 26 starts in the last tournament.
