Camacho completes transfer to Sporting Lisbon

Rafael Camacho has left Liverpool for Sporting Lisbon in a £5million deal, according to Liverpoolfc.com.

The Portuguese winger made two senior appearances under Jurgen Klopp, one of which was in the FA Cup defeat to Wolves in January.

The 19-year-old had become frustrated with a lack of game time at Anfield and complained in the spring about being deployed in a position he didn’t feel he was most suited to.

He was about to begin the final year of his Reds contract and had refused to sign a new deal to extend his stay at the club after initially agreeing to on the condition he’d be loaned back to Sporting, according to the Echo.

Liverpool would have stood to make just £270,000 had they kept Camacho until next summer, so the £5million deal (rising to £7million in add-ons) represents good business for the club.

A healthy sell-on clause has also been included in Camacho’s Sporting contract, and Liverpool have the option to buy him back in future should be develop into a top player in his homeland.
