Ruben Amorim continues to keep a close eye on Sporting and sees Gonçalo Inácio as his top target to strengthen Milan’s central defense. The Sporting center-back is therefore among the coach’s most desired names. However, the captain’s future should lie in... Alvalade.

Still according to the same source, the San Siro club does, in fact, have the center-back on its radar, but there is no indication that there could be any developments regarding this in the current transfer window, especially since Inácio now has greater responsibility in Sporting’s dressing room, as he wears the captain’s armband.
