Varandas plans new deal with Sporting star, aims to raise clause to €80M | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio is seen as one of the most important players of Sporting, with the Alvalade emblem wanting to renew the bond with the Portuguese international, granting him a salary improvement, with an increase in the termination clause, which could become 80 million euros, despite the interest of Al Ittihad.

Sporting promises to make an effort to keep Gonçalo Inácio, and should not negotiate any value below 60 million euros. However, the lions will have to wait until the end of the day, which also marks the end of the transfer window in Saudi Arabia, to be sure they continue with the center-back in the squad under Rui Borges.

If that happens, Gonçalo Inácio will be rewarded by Sporting. The lions want to renew the contract of the center-back trained in Alcochete, with the right to extend the bond, salary review that will leave him as one of the best paid in the squad, and probable increase of the termination clause to the level of 80 million euros.

This is another dossier that the managers of Sporting seek to resolve soon. In addition to Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves, Francisco Trincão, Geny Catamo and Ousmane Diomande should also be targets of contractual negotiations to extend their bonds with the Alvalade Club.

Before moving forward with the resolution of these processes, the green and white leaders will wait for the end of the transfer window in peripheral championships. It's worth noting that, with the demotion of St. Juste to Sporting's B team, the lions would only have Ousmane Diomande, Zeno Debast and Eduardo Quaresma as native center-backs in the main squad, if Gonçalo Inácio's departure was confirmed.
