João Félix and Ronaldo could help Benfica sign Sporting’s captain | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio is the latest player to be targeted by the Saudi Arabia Sovereign Fund. The institution that manages the funds for Saudi football signings is interested in securing one of the designated captains for Sporting, which would please Benfica as it would weaken the Lions' squad.

According to MaisFutebol, a proposal worth around 40 million euros will be presented to Sporting, a value that is expected to be rejected by Frederico Varandas' management.

It is also known that Al Nassr and Al Ittihad are the Middle Eastern clubs most interested in signing Gonçalo Inácio, who would be a significant reinforcement for the defensive line of either Saudi club.

If the transfer were to happen, it would be a significant blow to Sporting, considering that the three players share a locker room in the Portuguese national team.

This season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the team's top players. The 24-year-old center-back has already played 360 minutes in four games, with two assists to his name.
