Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are reportedly keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon defender, Goncalo Inacio.
The 23-year-old has been linked to several teams and has performed admirably for both club and country in recent seasons.
O Jogo, a Portuguese publication, claims that Newcastle, Manchester United, and Liverpool are all interested in the player.
Although his contract includes a €60 million release clause, Sporting might be open to selling him this summer for less.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool launch a bid to sign him.
Another central defender is needed, and Inacio would be a good long-term addition. Jarell Quansah is not prepared to start for a team every week with the hopes of winning significant trophies, while Joe Gomez has battled ongoing injury issues.
However, Manchester United also need to upgrade some of their current defenders because they have appeared defensively weak.
Inacio may be a vital member of United’s squad and possesses the skills necessary to thrive in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old played under Ruben Amorim at Sporting, and he is likely to adapt at Old Trafford easily. The player may find the chance to work with his old manager again to be quite alluring.
Newcastle need good players now that they have qualified for the Champions League.
The Portugal international might be the perfect choice for them as they need a dependable defensive partner for Sven Botman.
