Amorim wants reinforcements, thinks Milan can buy Sporting star for £40m | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio remains one of Milan’s main targets to strengthen the heart of the defence, at the request of Ruben Amorim. However, the Italian club is dependent on selling a player before making a concrete move for the Portuguese international.

Despite already securing the signing of Mario Gila for the centre of defence, the coach wants to add more quality to the department. According to the Italian press, the manager still holds Rui Borges’ protégé in very high regard and believes the centre-back has the ideal characteristics.

At this stage, Milan have not yet opened formal negotiations with Sporting. The Italian board first want to balance the books through the sale of some assets, with Fikayo Tomori one of the main candidates to leave the club. The financial return from that transfer could open the door to a move for the Sporting defender.

Sporting, for their part, see Gonçalo Inácio as an essential part of the squad. After the departures of several important players in this transfer window, the green-and-white SAD do not intend to make things easy regarding the player’s exit, who is under contract until 2030.
