Manchester United Eyes Goncalo Inacio
Manchester United is intensifying its pursuit of Sporting Lisbon’s defender Goncalo Inacio. Inacio’s stellar performance has captured the interest of several top European clubs, including Barcelona. However, Sporting Lisbon is hesitant to engage in negotiations, adding a layer of complexity to the potential transfer.
United’s need for a new center-back has grown with Raphael Varane’s impending departure. Inacio, valued at £50 million, could be the solution to their defensive struggles. Sporting Lisbon recently clinched the Portuguese top-flight title, further boosting Inacio’s appeal. Reports suggest that United is also ramping up efforts to sign Morten Hjulmand, who impressed with a long-range goal for Denmark against England.
Competition for Inacio’s signature is fierce, with Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal all showing interest. However, Manchester United’s urgency for defensive reinforcements might give them an edge, especially considering Inacio’s strong stats and potential partnership with Lisandro Martinez.
