Amorim wants Gonçalo Inácio at Milan, expects Sporting discount | OneFootball

Despite rumors coming out of Italy suggesting a possible move by Milan for Gonçalo Inácio, Sporting has so far still not received any concrete offer for the centre-back. The link between the player and Ruben Amorim has fueled reports of a possible reunion, but so far there have been no formal developments.

The Portugal international has not yet returned to Rui Borges’ squad training after being on duty with the national team at the World Cup held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The defender is expected to return in the coming days.

The defender’s absence has already been felt in this early stage of pre-season, with the centre-back missing friendlies against the B team, Torreense, and Celtic. The player is also not expected to feature in the upcoming tests against Portimonense and Strasbourg, with his return currently targeted for the Cinco Violinos Trophy against Monaco.

His return is being awaited with anticipation not only because of his performances on the pitch, but also because of the role he could take on in the dressing room. With the departures of Morten Hjulmand and Francisco Trincão, Gonçalo Inácio has emerged as one of the candidates to inherit the captain’s armband, alongside names such as Rui Silva and Maxi Araújo.
