Fresh row! After Suárez, Safi eyes another Sporting man for Fenerbahçe | OneFootball

The possible link between Fenerbahçe and Sporting players continues to make headlines. After the controversy surrounding Luis Suárez (See HERE), another name from the Lions' squad has now emerged in connection with the Istanbul club: Gonçalo Inácio.

According to information reported by journalist Ibrahim Seten, the defender has entered the businessman’s list of priorities. The candidate for the club’s presidency wants to present an ambitious project and sees the Portuguese international as one of the ideal pieces.

The news comes just a few days after it was revealed that Luis Suárez is also in the plans. The case involving the Colombian striker sparked major controversy among Sporting fans, since the alleged agreement was made public before the elections and without any official understanding between the clubs.

Now, the interest in the centre-back once again puts Sporting in the spotlight. For now, there is no indication of any negotiations between the clubs, but the player’s name joins that of the Colombian on the list of footballers linked with the project Hakan Safi wants to implement.

In the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at €40 million - was once again one of Sporting’s pillars. The green-and-white centre-back totalled 4,006 minutes in 46 matches, in which he managed three goals and three assists.
