Gonçalo Inacio does not lack courtiers. Linked to Sporting Lisbon until 2026, the solid 21-year-old Portuguese international defender caught the eye of big teams who do not rule out going on the offensive next summer. In recent months, Paris Saint-Germain has been cited several times among the clubs interested. Luis Campos has been following him for a while and appreciates his profile as a left-handed defender.
The Parisian recruitment boss is looking for a player capable of evolving in this area for the next transfer window. Inacio has interesting characteristics but according to our information, PSG has not yet advanced its pawns on this file. It is rather on the side of England that it is agitated for the native of Almada who for three seasons has established himself as an essential part of the team coached by Ruben Amorim. In all competitions, he has played 48 games (3 goals) with his team this season. He also won his first selection with Portugal on March 23, 2023 against Liechtenstein. The arrival of Roberto Martínez in the national team contributed to his promotion. The coach wants to install him permanently as a left axial in a three-man defense.
Sporting would like to extend it
Across the Channel, Liverpool appears to be the most pressing club to try to snatch the signature of Gonçalo Inacio. Unlike the others, the Reds have already started talks to find out the feasibility of the deal. The Portuguese press writes that Sporting Lisbon, former club of Nuno Mendes, will not let him go for less than 45 million euros, the amount of the release clause. The player would see himself giving a new impetus to his career at the end of the season. Why not in the Premier League.
At the same time, the Lisbon club would have made an extension proposal accompanied by a salary increase, according to O Jogo this week. The same media reports that Sporting, aware of the many interests, would work to convince him to stay and would also like to revise his exit clause upwards.
