Sporting aim to scupper Amorim's dream and complicate Alvalade exit | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim remains closely attentive to Sporting and has Gonçalo Inácio as his main target to strengthen Milan’s central defence. The Portuguese coach has already received four new signings, in an investment of more than €150 million, but wants one more option for the heart of the defence.

According to the Italian press, the Portugal international is the former Sporting coach’s top transfer dream for the position. Milan have already signed Mario Gila, but are now considering an investment of around €40 million to try to take Inácio to San Siro.

Sporting, however, are not willing to make another major departure from the defence easy. Ousmane Diomande has already moved to Nottingham Forest for €40 million, and the club’s board intends to keep the current captain, who remains one of Rui Borges’ key players.

Gonçalo Inácio is under contract until 2030 and has a release clause set at €60 million. Given this scenario, the €40 million Milan are considering may not be enough to convince Frederico Varandas to open negotiations.

proves too complicated. Even so, the Sporting defender remains Ruben Amorim’s preferred name to complete the ‘rossoneri’ defensive unit.
