Sporting deliver million-euro news to Gonçalo Inácio | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio will renew with Sporting. The Lions' central defender has been negotiating with the green and white officials for a few months to extend the contract that ties him to the Club, now knowing that the release clause will increase.

According to information provided by the newspaper A Bola, the amount in the 'number 25' contract jumps from 60 to 80 million euros. The intention of the management led by Frederico Varandas is to protect the player, who has been highly sought after abroad.

Regarding the duration of the contract, Sporting's SAD plans to extend it for another three years - until 2030 - since Inácio is one of the pillars of the green and white defense, part of the captain's group and a regular presence in the starting eleven since his debut in 2020/21.

Since then, Inácio, currently 24 years old, has played 224 games with the green and white stripes, being the second most used player at that age. Above the left-footer is only João Moutinho, who had already played 251 matches for the Alvalade Club.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is the only ever-present player in the Sporting team. The green and white central defender has accumulated 990 minutes in 11 games, in which he has already made two assists for goals.
