Gonçalo Inácio could bid farewell to Sporting and link up with Raphinha | OneFootball

Barcelona is still searching for a replacement for Iñigo Martinez, and the name Gonçalo Inácio continues to be linked with the Spanish club, where Raphinha, a former Sporting player, already plays. The culés intend to strengthen this position in the next transfer window.

According to news outlets covering the Catalan club, the Lions’ player is on a list that includes several center-backs, such as Schlotterbeck, Marc Guéhi, Upamecano, and Tylel Tati. However, Barcelona’s interest in Inácio is already well known.

In this case, Sporting is even open to negotiating the Portuguese international’s transfer, as reported exclusively by Leonino. But there is one condition: the green and white board does not want to lose Inácio in January, and a possible departure is only open for the summer.

Gonçalo Inácio has a contract until 2027, and Frederico Varandas has already presented the center-back with a proposal to extend his contract with Sporting for another three seasons – until 2030 – increasing his release clause from 60 to 80 million euros.

At the start of the 2025/26 sports season, Gonçalo Inácio – valued at 45 million euros – is one of the pillars of Sporting. The green and white central defender has already played 1,440 minutes in 16 games, in which he has managed to provide two assists for goals.
