With the English press reporting that Rafael Camacho has just rejected a five-year contract with Liverpool, the Portuguese media was quick to turn the red alert on.
Outlet O Jogo recalls that Sporting got close to signing the player in the January window, as he was ‘one step’ from moving on a six-month loan deal.
The transfer, however, was blocked by Jurgen Klopp, who promised the player some minutes. That’s something that never happened.
O Jogo writes that Sporting have a few right-backs in the squad, but the starting position is completely open for the next season. They still call him a ‘target’.
Camacho had only two appearances for Liverpool this season. He played 90 minutes in an FA Cup game against Wolves, and had one minute in a Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
With the player being heavily linked to Sporting in January, we can expect the Portuguese press to have several stories on the situation from now on.
