Premier League clubs eyeing Goncalo Inacio
Burgos wrote on X: “Gonçalo Inácio awakens interest from the big clubs.
“His great season at Sporting, especially in the Champions League, has drawn attention in England (Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United) and Spain.
“His release clause amounts to 60M€, but it’s negotiable.”
Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile have been linked with moves away from Chelsea at the end of the season, and Chelsea will need to replace both players. Chelsea have looked vulnerable at the back of this season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. Signing the Portuguese International would be a wise decision.

Liverpool could use Inacio
Similarly, Liverpool need more defensive depth. Joe Gomez has suffered from persistent injury problems, and they need to upgrade on him. Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent at the end of the season and has not yet signed an extension with the club. Inacio could be a quality addition for them. The left-footed defender can operate as a central defender as well as a full back. His versatility would be an added bonus.
As for Manchester United, they need a long-term replacement for Harry Maguire. Matthijs de Ligt has had his fair share of injury problems this season as well. Adding more depth to the defensive unit would be ideal for them.
It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs is willing to pay the €60 million asking price for him.
