Some time ago it was rumored that Real Madrid had agreed to the transfer of Gonçalo Inácio from Sporting Lisbon for a fee of 60 million euros, but it seems that Real Madrid immediately rejected this rumor as reported by Fabrizio Romano. However, it seems that Sporting Lisbon's young talent has attracted interest from several big EPL clubs and there are Manchester United, Liverpool and also Newcastle.
I think his performance so far with Sporting Lisbon has been impressive and it is only natural that he is being targeted by several clubs. Gonçalo Inácio is a player who plays as a central defender and that is why whoever can get him will have a much stronger defense. We'll see in the winter which team will be able to secure the services of this 22 year old player.
Gonçalo Inácio is still very young but indeed the vision in the game that he does is already extraordinary because he has good potential when he is defending so it is quite natural that many clubs see him as a good progress for the future defense.
But indeed if the orientation now is money then surely Madrid is the strongest candidate but indeed being in Madrid is clearly full of pressure because when young players are given more opportunities and cannot give the best performance then surely the chance to be disposed of is very large so in this case there must be something that Gonçalo Inácio can offer if he wants to be at the Bernabeu.
In addition, Madrid also really need players in the center-back position. Although now there are Militao, Alaba and Rudiger but they are prone to injuries and even now Militao must be in the treatment room so other players like Nacho or Tchouameni who are always moved as options when some of their center-backs cannot play so obviously Gonçalo Inácio can be a good answer at this time.
That's right, he is a tough defender and also a talented defender, if he can be in the right team it is possible that his abilities will be even more honed. In fact, even if he leaves Real Madrid it will make his career brighter and maybe for now he won't get the minutes he deserves, but if he replaces Alaba or Rudiger in the next 1 or 2 seasons, he can get it as long as he is patient.
Currently, Real Madrid is short of central defenders and when someone is injured or absent due to card sanctions, sometimes Ancelotti has to rotate other players to fill that position. It is not surprising that Tchouameni had to fill this position due to the lack of defenders at Real Madrid. As has been reported, Real Madrid has dismissed rumors of an agreement with Gonçalo Inácio, but next winter no one knows if they will actually secretly recruit this player.
