Italy on fire! Ruben Amorim and Fàbregas battle for Sporting ace | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio has once again been linked with Italian football. After being mentioned as a target for Milan in recent weeks, the Sporting centre-back has now appeared on the list of potential signings for Cesc Fàbregas’ Como ahead of the new season.

According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the Portugal international is among the options identified by the Serie A club to strengthen the heart of the defence. Gonçalo Inácio is competing with Udinese’s Oumar Solet, Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, and Galatasaray’s Davinson Sánchez.

Como’s interest comes at a time when the defender’s name continues to circulate in Italy. The recent arrival of Ruben Amorim as Milan’s head coach has fuelled the possibility of a move from the Rossoneri, especially given the difficulties in securing António Silva’s transfer from Benfica.

At 24, Gonçalo Inácio remains one of the leading figures in Sporting’s defence and one of the most highly valued players in Rui Borges’ squad. The Portugal international is under contract with the Lions until 2030 and continues to attract interest from several European clubs.

In the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio — valued at €40 million — was once again one of Sporting’s key players. The green-and-white centre-back clocked 4,006 minutes across 46 matches, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
