Fabrizio Romano reveals what he's heard about Liverpool and potential £68m replacement for Mo Salah

Fabrizio Romano has revealed what he's heard about Sporting Lisbon midfielder Pedro Goncalves amid reports linking the player with a move to Liverpool.

And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now lifted the lid on what he knows about the player, revealing that Sporting are desperate to keep the player.

“For sure he’s going to be one to watch in the next years, but at the moment people close to him guarantee there’s nothing decided or close.”

So far, the Goncalves has made 133 appearances for the Portuguese giants, scoring 59 goals and registering 34 assists in that time.

The midfielder first announced himself on the European stage when he scored a stunning chip from near the halfway line against Arsenal in the Europa League round of 16 which helped them defeat the Gunners on penalties.

But should Salah end up staying in Merseyside, there will be less of a need for Goncalves, who has admitted he is happy at Sporting.
