Leonino exclusive: Provstgaard next if Inácio leaves, Lazio want big money | OneFootball

Oliver Provstgaard is the player chosen by Sporting, should Gonçalo Inácio leave Alvalade, but there is a major obstacle: Lazio are demanding €25 million for the 23-year-old Danish centre-back, a fee the club’s hierarchy considers too high, Leonino has learned.

The 1.94-metre left-footed defender has been gaining more and more prominence and has emerged as one of the options identified to strengthen the heart of the defence if the departure of the number 25 is confirmed. Sporting’s hierarchy are keeping a close eye on the market and want to have alternatives ready for a possible transfer of the Portuguese defender.

Despite the interest from the Alvalade club, the figures requested by Lazio are not appealing. Sporting’s officials consider the amount too high for the investment planned for the position, meaning any potential deal would always have to involve a reduction in the fee demanded by the Italian club.

The Rome-based club managed to balance the books with the sale of Mario Gila to Milan, managed by Ruben Amorim, for around €30 million, thus removing any urgent need to make further sales in this transfer window.

Oliver Provstgaard joined Lazio in January 2025 from Vejle for around €4.5 million. The centre-back initially signed until 2029, but recently renewed his contract until June 2031, and will now earn more than €1 million per season.
