Blinksportsnews247According to TEAMtalk, Sporting Lisbon has significantly lowered their asking price for Goncalo Inacio, who is rumored to be a target for Tottenham.
Ange Postecoglou’s primary objective going into the January transfer window is reportedly to sign a center-back, according to numerous reports published in recent days (The Athletic).
Spurs are rumored to be interested in Inacio, who has become one of the best center defenders in the Portuguese top division in recent years (Fabrizio Romano – CaughtOffisde).
The 22-year-old has reportedly drawn interest from clubs including Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal. It has also been reported in recent weeks that Sporting will only allow the player to leave if his £52 million release clause is fulfilled (Jornal de Noticias via Sport Witness).
A concession on Inacio in light of Spurs connections But according to TEAMtalk, the Portuguese team has now lowered their asking price for Inacio and is only prepared to part with the star for £39 million.
The publication presents the news as a significant boost to Liverpool’s hopes of signing the center back, omitting any mention of Tottenham.
Spurs Web Opinion:
I’m curious if Tottenham will decide to focus on the Sporting star again instead of Jean-Clair Todibo and Radu Dragusin now that Inacio’s asking price has dropped. Spurs may have a secret weapon in the form of an offer for Eric Dier to be made to the Portuguese team, which would sweeten the deal.
