Tomori could force Sporting stalwart out thanks to... Ruben Amorim | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim sees Gonçalo Inácio as a possible replacement for Fikayo Tomori at Milan. The former Sporting coach knows the Portuguese international’s qualities well, but Sporting want to keep the defender in Rui Borges’ squad.

According to ‘TuttoMercatoWeb’, the centre-back is among the Rossoneri’s options if Tomori leaves the Italian club this summer. Milan had already made enquiries about the player, as had other clubs from England, but no offer close to Sporting’s demands has yet arrived at Alvalade.

Sporting are only expected to consider a transfer for a fee above €40 million. The imminent departure of Ousmane Diomande increases Gonçalo Inácio’s importance in defence, even after the signing of Ibrahima Ba from Famalicão.

The contract, which runs until June 2030, strengthens the negotiating position of the SAD led by Frederico Varandas. Gonçalo Inácio is only expected to consider a move to a club playing in the Champions League and capable of challenging for titles, a scenario that increases Sporting’s confidence in keeping him.

In the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at €40 million - once again proved to be one of Sporting’s key players. The green-and-white centre-back played 4,006 minutes in 46 matches, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
