Barcelona eye Sporting star, talks held with player's agent | OneFootball

Barcelona is aiming to sign Gonçalo Inácio in the near future. Deco, the sporting director of the 'blaugrana', is said to have attended a meeting with the agent of the Sporting player for a potential transfer in one of the upcoming transfer windows.

Ekrem Konur, a market affairs specialist, reported this Wednesday that other clubs from the Premier League and Saudi Arabia are also interested in the central defender, but the Catalan giant has identified him as having the "ideal profile" to strengthen their defense.

Gonçalo Inácio - who was called up by Roberto Martínez - is considered one of the favorites for coach Hansi Flick. Manchester United and Liverpool (England) have also shown interest in Rui Borges' protégé, but neither of the two Premier League clubs intends to sign the athlete for now.

At the start of this season, it was reported that Sporting was prepared to sell the footballer for 45 million euros, the value of his release clause. Ronald Araújo's performances at the start of the season have not convinced the Catalan officials, who are already seeking alternatives.

In the beginning of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the ever-presents in the Sporting team. The green and white central defender has accumulated 990 minutes in 11 games, in which he has already managed to make two assists for goals.
