Gonçalo Inácio makes history in Tondela-Sporting amid uncertainty | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Tondela 3-0 in the ninth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Gonçalo Inácio was a starter and played the full match for the Lions, marking his 150th game wearing the green and white stripes in the National Championship, at a time when his future remains uncertain.

The Portuguese international center-back is highly regarded abroad, with Barcelona being the club that has shown the most interest recently. Deco, the sporting director of the Blaugrana, has reportedly even spoken with the representatives of the 'number 25'.

The President of Sporting presented the left-footer with a contract renewal proposal, in an attempt to keep the defender at Alvalade.

As he is one of the squad’s key players, Inácio is expected to extend his stay at Sporting, continuing a legacy that began in the 2020/21 season. In these 150 Liga Portugal Betclic matches, the defender has already scored 10 goals, provided 11 assists, and has been National Champion on three occasions over five seasons.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio – valued at 45 million euros – is one of the pillars of Sporting. The green and white center-back has accumulated 1,170 minutes in 13 matches, in which he has already provided two assists for goals.
