Ruben Amorim threatens Varandas’ plans, could take Sporting captain | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio’s future remains uncertain in this final stretch of the transfer window. Although Frederico Varandas has assured that the captain is not one of the players he expects to leave, there are clubs keeping a close eye on him, and Ruben Amorim’s Milan has emerged among the interested sides.

According to Record, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Miguel Pinho, the Portuguese international’s agent, has been working the market in search of possible offers. The Italian press adds that the Rossoneri are closely monitoring the situation of the “number 25.”

Sporting Sporting is willing to negotiate Gonçalo Inácio’s sale if an offer of at least €40 million comes in. The centre-back is under contract with the Lions and is protected by a release clause set at €60 million, while clubs from Saudi Arabia are also keeping tabs on him.

The 25-year-old player was left out of the starting eleven in the 3-1 win over Alverca, a situation that increased speculation. Rui Borges explained that the decision was strategic and, when asked about the defender’s future, gave no guarantees: “I can’t give guarantees about him or anyone else. A club can come here and trigger the release clause. I’ve already said he was left out for strategic reasons.”

Frederico Varandas was more emphatic the following day and stated that “Gonçalo Inácio is not one of those who could leave”. Even so, with the market still open and Milan attentive to the situation, the captain’s stay at Alvalade is not yet completely certain.
