Sporting put Gonçalo Inácio up for sale, set price for centre-back | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio continues to be monitored by foreign clubs and, although no official offer has arrived yet, clubs from Italy and Saudi Arabia have been seeking information. The defender, who started in the first two matchdays, began the match against Alverca (3-1) on the bench.

Sporting are demanding at least €40 million to negotiate the player’s transfer, an amount €20 million below his release clause. Despite the interest from Italian and Saudi clubs, Sporting’s board have still not received any concrete offer for the centre-back.

Rui Borgesopted for Zeno Debast and Ibrahima Ba in central defence, also leaving Eduardo Quaresma among the substitutes. A decision that once again fueled doubts over the situation of the number 25, especially at a time when the transfer market is still open.

After the win, the coach was asked about Inácio’s future and did not want to give any guarantees. “Will Inácio stay? I can’t give guarantees about him or anyone else. A club could come here and trigger the release clause. I’ve already said he was left out for tactical reasons,” the manager explained.

For now, Sporting are keeping the player in the squad, but an attractive offer could lead the green-and-white board to consider his departure.
