Official: Gonçalo Inácio signs new Sporting deal, stays at Alvalade | OneFootball

Sporting has officially announced the contract renewal of Gonçalo Inácio, extending his connection with the Club until 2030. The central defender, trained in Alcochete, thus reinforces his commitment to the emblem where he arrived as a child, at 11 years old, and where he has already played over 200 games for the main team.

"It is a huge pride. I grew up living Sporting. I grew up here, in this great Club. And for me, it is always a pleasure to represent Sporting", he began by saying to the Club's media at the moment of signing the new contract . At 24 years old, the athlete has already won all national trophies.

"The goal is always to keep winning. Obviously, I've already won some trophies, but we always want more. Representing Sporting is always a pride, and being captain is an even greater pride", he assured, before focusing on the current moment of the team.

"I have been feeling good. I think the team is also in a good moment and the confidence is high. The goal is always the same: to win. We, as captains, always want to convey confidence, give confidence in training, integrate in the best way. It's always good to bet on the young ones. We try to teach as much as possible, just as we were taught. It's a lot about that: passing on confidence and integrating them into the group", explained the footballer who missed the last match.

The sustained and victorious growth at the leonine emblem also led him to the National Team, where he has 19 caps. "Obviously, it is also a pride. We work every day to achieve this goal and now, it's about staying focused", he pointed out, leaving a message to the fans: "Keep supporting, as you always do", he concluded.
