Gonçalo Inácio continues to be one of the players on Barcelona's list. Sporting's 'number 25' is seen as one of the possible replacements for Iñigo Martinez - who left for Al Nassr - making it clear that the Catalans are keeping an eye on the Portuguese international.

According to news pages about the Catalan club, the Lions' player is part of a list that includes several center-backs, such as Schlotterbeck, Marc Guéhi, Upamecano, and Tylel Tati. However, Barcelona's interest in Inácio is already well-known.

In this case, Sporting is even open to negotiating the Portuguese international's transfer, as reported by Leonino, Exclusively. But there is a condition: the green and white management does not want to lose Inácio in January, and a possible departure is only open in the summer.

Gonçalo Inácio has a contract until 2027, and Frederico Varandas has already presented the center-back with a proposal to extend his connection to Sporting for another three seasons - until 2030 - increasing the release clause from 60 to 80 million euros.

In this 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 central defender has already accumulated 1,440 minutes in 16 games, in which he has managed to make two assists for goals.
