Heads up, Sporting! Gonçalo Inácio catches the eye of Spanish giants | OneFootball

Spanish giant has shown interest in Gonçalo Inácio; Sporting's defender is the preferred target of the club

Barcelona shows interest in signing Gonçalo Inácio. If the deal materializes, the central defender of Sporting would only head to the capital of Catalonia at the beginning of the next season. The Portuguese international has been under the attention of Hansi Flick, who has shown concern about the way his team defends, after the departure of Iñigo Martínez to Al Nassr

According to Adrián Sánchez, Barcelona is considering moving forward with the signing of the Portuguese international defender from Clube de Alvalade. The journalist also indicates that Murillo, from Nottingham Forest, and Castello Lukeba, Leipzig, are also on the target list.

Nevertheless, according to the same source, Gonçalo Inácio is considered Flick's favorite. Manchester United and Liverpool have also shown interest in Rui Borges' pupil, but none of the Premier League clubs intend to hire him for now.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Sporting was prepared to sell the footballer for 45 million euros, the value of his termination clause. The performances of Ronald Araújo at the beginning of the season have not convinced the Catalan officials, who are already looking for alternatives.

At the beginning of this 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the ever-presents in the Sporting team. The green and white central defender has already accumulated 450 minutes, in five games, where he has managed to make two assists for goals.
