Ruben Amorim continues to keep a close eye on Sporting and sees Gonçalo Inácio as his top target to strengthen Milan’s central defense. The Sporting center-back is therefore among the coach’s most desired names. However, the captain’s future should lie in... Alvalade.
Still according to the same source, the San Siro club does, in fact, have the center-back on its radar, but there is no indication that there could be any developments regarding this in the current transfer window, especially since Inácio now has greater responsibility in Sporting’s dressing room, as he wears the captain’s armband.
Gonçalo Inácio has a contract valid until 2030 and a release clause set at 60 million euros. Given this scenario, the figures being considered may not be enough to convince Frederico Varandas to open negotiations.
In the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 40 million euros - once again proved to be one of Sporting’s pillars. The green-and-white central defender totaled 4,006 minutes in 46 matches, in which he managed three goals and three assists.
