Sporting keen to keep Inácio, but big money could tempt him | OneFootball

Sporting is open to negotiating Gonçalo Inácio. As revealed by our Journal in this Exclusive Leonino, although the main intention of the lions is to renew with the central defender, Frederico Varandas does not rule out listening to proposals from potential interested parties.

According to information gathered from a source close to the process, the green and white SAD will analyze any offers that arrive at Alvalade. However, Sporting does not want to lose Inácio in January, and a possible departure is only open in the summer.
