English giant threaten move for Gonçalo Inácio, but Sporting face more woes | OneFootball

Liverpool remains interested in signing Gonçalo Inácio and may move forward with the deal as early as January. The Premier League giants see the Sporting center-back as an alternative to Marc Guéhi, whose negotiations with Crystal Palace continue to 'drag on'.

This information is being reported by Ekrem Konur - a Turkish transfer market specialist - who also warns the Lions that the Reds are not the only ones with these intentions. Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG are also interested.

Furthermore, the same source adds that it's not just the clubs from the major European leagues that are keeping an eye on Gonçalo Inácio. It seems that Al Ittihad and Al Nassr - where Cristiano Ronaldo plays - are monitoring the situation of the Portuguese international.

Gonçalo Inácio has a contract until 2027, and Frederico Varandas has already presented the center-back with a proposal to extend his connection with Sporting for another three seasons - until 2030 - increasing the release clause from 60 to 80 million euros. The Lions do not want to lose the player, but as Leonino reported exclusively, the millions may speak louder.

At the start of the 2025/26 sports season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the pillars of Sporting. The green and white center-back has already accumulated 1,440 minutes in 16 games, in which he has managed to make two assists for goals.
