Italy heats up! Ruben Amorim and Fàbregas battle for Sporting star | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio has once again been linked with Italian football. After being mentioned as a target for Milan in recent weeks, the Sporting centre-back has now emerged on the list of potential signings for Cesc Fàbregas’ Como ahead of the new season.

According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the Portugal international is among the options identified by the Serie A club to strengthen the heart of the defence. Gonçalo Inácio is competing with Udinese’s Oumar Solet, Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, and Galatasaray’s Davinson Sánchez.

Como’s interest comes at a time when the Sporting defender’s name continues to circulate in Italy. Ruben Amorim’s arrival as Milan head coach recently fuelled the possibility of a move from the Rossoneri, especially given the difficulties in securing António Silva’s transfer from Benfica.

At 24, Gonçalo Inácio remains one of the key figures in Sporting’s defence and one of the most highly valued players in Rui Borges’ squad. The Portugal international is under contract with the Lions until 2030 and continues to attract interest from several European clubs.

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