Italians tip Sporting starter as ideal signing for Amorim at Milan | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio has once again been linked with Milan, with ‘Corriere dello Sport’ once more placing the Sporting centre-back on the rossoneri’s radar. The Italian newspaper believes the Portugal international “would be the ideal signing for the defensive style ofRuben Amorim”.

The relationship between the two is also seen as an advantage in a possible move to Italy. The fact that they have already worked together means the defender would arrive in Serie A already familiar with the Portuguese coach’s methods, so, according to the Italian paper, “there should be no adaptation problems whatsoever”.

Milan’s interest is not new. The Italians are said to have already made contact in June to understand under what conditions they could move for the 24-year-old player. At the time, the main objective was to find out the demands of the SAD led by Frederico Varandas in order to open negotiations, with Sporting reportedly setting €40 million as the starting point for talks. Pote has also been linked with the rossoneri.

Although the release clause is set at €60 million, that was precisely one of the figures that remained unchanged in the centre-back’s contract renewal, made official in December last year and valid until 2030.

Gonçalo Inácio continues to be regarded as an important part of the Lions’ squad and maintains a strong connection to the club, where he has been since 2012.
