Both Man United and Liverpool have had their problems with defenders over the past 12 months.
Of course there must be sympathy for Erik ten Hag as the Dutchman rarely gets the chance to name the same name twice in a row, and whatever the manager's shortcomings, his argument that the team would challenge for the honor. a fully proportional defense has no merit.
Liverpool's demand didn't seem that great, however, it seems clear to football watchers that the club needs someone of the highest caliber to partner Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman is figuratively and literally head and shoulders above his contemporaries, and if the Reds can target a signing to play closely, it could help start the Arne Slot era in the best possible way.
Liverpool and Man United want Goncalo Inacio
Although the summer transfer window is still on, it looks like both Premier League giants will be dealing with one defensive talent once the market is open for business again.
According to CaughtOffside writer, Fabrizio Romano, Sporting's 22-year-old Goncalo Inacio is a player of interest to both North West giants.
??? Manchester United and Liverpool were both monitoring Gonçalo Inácio ahead of the summer transfer window.
His release clause is worth €60m.

Man United's situation may be difficult at the moment because it is not clear whether Sir Jim Ratcliffe intends to keep the ten-year-old Hag as his manager next season.
Until that question is answered one way or another, potential new signings may remain silent on their commitment to the Red Devils.
Although the transfer window opens on the day the European Championship starts, Friday June 14, that is only for domestic contracts.
There is about a month left before the clubs start trading with other countries, and by then, the status of the Theater of Dreams should have been clarified.
