Leonino exclusive: Sporting set price for Gonçalo Inácio sale | OneFootball

Sporting do not intend to make Gonçalo Inácio’s departure easy in the next summer transfer window and have already set the figures required to open negotiations for the Portuguese international. The green-and-white SAD will only consider selling the centre-back for fees in the region of €45 million, Leonino has learned.

The player continues to attract interest from several clubs, especially in England. Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are still monitoring the player’s development, while there have also been reports in recent months of interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

At Alvalade, there is a firm belief that the ‘number 25’ is one of the most important pieces in the squad, both for his defensive quality and his ability to build from the back. His recent contract renewal until 2030 was seen as an essential step to protect one of the team’s most valuable assets.

Although his release clause is set at €60 million, Sporting’s hierarchy are willing to negotiate below that figure, but never for amounts considered low for a player of his stature in the current market. The Lions know that the Portuguese international remains highly valued and feel no need to rush any exit this summer.

In the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio — valued at €40 million — is one of Sporting’s key pillars. The green-and-white centre-back has so far played 3,712 minutes in 43 matches, in which he has already recorded three goals and three assists.
