Bruno Fernandes' agent tries to sell Sporting star on the cheap | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio has already been approached to renew his contract with Sporting. However, the changes that should be included in the new contract - especially the increase of the termination clause to 80 million euros -, may generate a 'trick' from Miguel Pinho, the player's agent and Bruno Fernandes', so that the defender could be sold below that value.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, despite being a process to be dealt with during the season, the lions do not want to waste time. Sporting aims to renew the contract with Gonçalo Inácio until 2030 and increase his salary, after the central defender did not leave the Alvalade Club due to the interest of Al Ittihad. The Middle Eastern emblem was very interested in the player trained at the Alcochete Academy and was waving 55 million euros.

With the demotion of Jeremiah St. Juste to Sporting's B team, the lions would only have Ousmane Diomande, Zeno Debast, and Eduardo Quaresma as natural central defenders in the main squad, if Gonçalo Inácio's departure were confirmed. In this case, despite the increase in the termination clause, it is possible that the 'jersey 25' agents want to establish a point of understanding so that a possible transfer takes place at a more affordable value.

This is another file that the Sporting officials seek to resolve soon. In addition to Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves, Francisco Trincão, Geny Catamo, and Ousmane Diomande should also be targets of contractual negotiations to extend their ties with the Alvalade Club.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the total players in Sporting's team. The green and white central defender has 540 minutes in six games, in which he has already managed to make two assists for goals.
