Make that three! Ruben Amorim also wants Gonçalo Inácio from Sporting | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has already started shaping the new Milan, and Sporting is at the heart of the Portuguese coach’s plans. According to the Italian press, the manager wants to strengthen several areas of the rossoneri squad with players he knows well and, after Francisco Trincão and Morten Hjulmand, Gonçalo Inácio is now also among the names he most likes ahead of the 2026/27 season.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Amorim intends to carry out a real revolution in Milan’s squad and has identified several Portuguese targets to make that happen. Among them are two of the most influential players in the current Sporting team, both of whom played an important role in the successful spell enjoyed by the coach at Alvalade.

Gonçalo Inácio has emerged as a priority for the heart of the defence. The Portugal international recently renewed his contract with the Lions until 2030 and remains protected by a €60 million release clause. Despite Milan’s strong interest, Sporting do not intend to make it easy for one of the main pillars of their defence to leave.

Francisco Trincão is also on the new Italian coach’s radar. The winger has likewise extended his deal with the green and whites until 2030 and still has a release clause set at €60 million. Amorim knows better than anyone the impact the Portugal international has on the team and believes he could add quality to the rossoneri attack.

However, the two players are not the only names linked to Sporting on the coach’s list. Morten Hjulmand also remains highly rated by Amorim, who had already tried to take him to Manchester United. Even so, this would be a particularly difficult deal, not only because of the figures involved, but also due to strong competition from clubs such as Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City.
