Liverpool eye Sporting star, but Cristiano Ronaldo could step in | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio has been attracting increasing interest over the past few months and now Liverpool are seriously considering making a move for the Sporting centre-back. However, Cristiano Ronaldo and company could interfere as the Reds try to sign the Portuguese international as an alternative to Marc Guéhi.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur—a Turkish transfer market specialist—who also warns the Lions that the Reds are not the only ones with these intentions. Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG are also interested.

Furthermore, the same source adds that it’s not just clubs from the main European leagues keeping an eye on Gonçalo Inácio. Apparently, Al Ittihad and Al Nassr—where Cristiano Ronaldo plays—are also monitoring the situation of the Portuguese international.

Gonçalo Inácio is under contract until 2027 and Frederico Varandas has already presented the centre-back with a proposal to extend his stay at Sporting for another three seasons—until 2030—increasing his release clause from 60 to 80 million euros. The Lions do not want to lose the player, but as Leonino exclusively reported, the millions may speak louder.

At the 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 centre-back has already racked up 1,440 minutes in 16 games, in which he has managed to provide two assists for goals.
