Ruben Amorim has reportedly drawn up a three-man shortlist of players that he wants Liverpool to sign in the summer if he takes charge at Anfield.
Having made a name for himself with Sporting CP in the Primeira Liga, where he is on the brink of securing his second league title, Amorim’s managerial prowess has caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs, including Liverpool.
With negotiations reportedly nearing completion, anticipation is mounting over Amorim’s imminent arrival at Anfield.
Now, as he prepares to potentially take the reins at Liverpool, attention is shifting towards the summer transfer window and the reinforcements he aims to bring to the club.
According to reports from Portuguese publication Jornal Noticias, Ruben Amorim has identified three key targets for Liverpool’s hierarchy.
These targets include Sporting CP defenders Goncalo Inacio and Ousmane Diomande, as well as midfielder Martin Hjulmand.
Both Inacio and Diomande have been integral to Sporting’s success under Amorim, forming a solid partnership in the backline.
Liverpool’s defensive stability has been a concern in recent seasons, with injuries plaguing key players like Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez.
Hence the two potential signings could provide much-needed reinforcements to bolster the Reds’ defensive line ahead of the upcoming campaign.
