Portuguese media outlets have reported that Ruben Amorim of Sporting CP, who is still widely considered as a leading candidate for the managerial vacancy at Liverpool, may take a number of players with him to Anfield should he be appointed.

When Jose Mourinho transferred from Porto to Chelsea, he brought important players like Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho to help implement his system, and this tactic is reminiscent of that approach.

Liverpool has a strong and skilled roster as it is, but Amorim’s tactical preferences are in line with the club’s demands in certain areas.

Marcus Edwards, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, and Morten Hjulmand are among the four players reportedly being linked to a possible move to Liverpool from Amorim’s team, as reported on Wednesday by Jornal de Noticias.A new center back has been considered for Liverpool’s roster since Joel Matip is set to depart the club this summer.

Since Amorim likes a three-man center defense, it makes sense to get one more.

Inácio and Diomande are perfect examples of the type of modern, nimble, ball-playing defenders that would fit well in with Amorim’s approach.

Plus, they’re still young, so Liverpool can turn them into first-rate defenders.

Notably, Chelsea and Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Diomande.

Even though Marcus Edwards’s statistics this season—six goals and eight assists—may not normally exceed Liverpool’s high standards, he could discover a place in Amorim’s system.Given Amorim’s preference for a two-striker formation, Edwards, who is known for his speed and nimble footwork, could prove to be an invaluable asset during substitutions. His play might be much improved if he were on a more dominant team with better teammates.

Given that Liverpool currently boasts Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, I fail to see John Henry investing €140 million in center backs.

Sporting allegedly wants €140 million (£120 million), according to JN.

60 million euros (£51 million) for Inacio and 80 million euros (£68 million) for Diomande.

Tо be the Ԁevil’s аԀvоcаte, I’Ԁ sаy thаt the first оne is 32 yeаrs оlԀ аnԀ the secоnԀ оne is prоne tо injuries.

Even so, Liverpool isn’t going to spend a ton of money on a single position, especially because they only need a new center back to replace Joel Matip.

The Cameroonian was out for the remainder of the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in December, therefore this was probably his final appearance for the club.

However, Diomande or Inacio would be fantastic additions to Liverpool’s defense; they each have the potential to become a world-class player.
