Liverpool have sold Rafael Camacho in a £5 million deal.

Liverpool announced on Thursday night that Rafael Camacho had completed a permanent move to Sporting Lisbon.

The Portuguese winger started off his career with Sporting and has now returned to his roots.

Camacho, 19, joined Liverpool in 2016 but only ever managed two senior appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

According to The Echo, the Reds will pick up a fee of around £5 million for his sale – and here’s how Liverpool fans reacted to the decision to offload him:

It’s been a quiet transfer window for the newly-crowned European champions, who completed their first signing in the form of Sepp van den Berg this week, but the Dutch centre-back is only 17 and therefore he was hardly signed as a senior player.

Both of Camacho’s first-team appearances came last season. He made his senior debut in the FA Cup defeat by Wolves in January, before then earning a minute or two in a 4-3 Premier League win over Crystal Palace 12 days later.

The Portuguese talent would go on to be an unused substitution for a number of Premier League games, which at least indicated that Klopp was comfortable enough with his ability to have him in the squad.
