Liverpool contract rebel Rafael Camacho faces an uncertain future yet again after he left Merseyside in the summer to return to Sporting CP.
The 20-year-old wing-back sought pastures new despite being offered a deal to remain at Anfield but has found that the grass isn’t necessarily always greener on the other side.
A report from Portuguese outlet O Jogo has claimed that Camacho could well be on the move once again in January, having failed to break into the Lisbon side’s starting line-up.
Camacho made two senior appearances during his time at Liverpool, including 90 minutes in the FA Cup defeat against Wolves nearly two years ago.
The youngster was highly regarded by Jurgen Klopp and it was recently reported that the pair were still in contact, with the German believed to be interested in bringing the 20-year-old back to Anfield.

It is difficult to question Camacho’s desire to find first team football, with all avenues seemingly blocked in Liverpool’s star-studded squad.
Despite his versatility, every position in which the Portugal under-20 international can play is filled by a world-class performer. However, given his failure to find game-time after a move, this is yet another case of being careful what you wish for.
Another highly-rated former Reds youngster in Bobby Duncan made the mistake of believing he was ready for top-flight action and made the switch to Fiorentina, only to leave just a few months later, and he has since been training with Derby County. He is yet to make a senior competitive appearance for any of the four clubs at which he has found himself.
