Reports from across Europe indicate that Manchester United are preparing proposals for two center-backs, with Sporting Lisbon anticipating a bid for their defender Goncalo Inacio.
Key Developments
- Leny Yoro Interest: Manchester United have reportedly moved ahead of Real Madrid in the race for Lille’s 18-year-old defender Leny Yoro. Yoro has been advised to wait for Madrid’s offer.
- Goncalo Inacio Proposal: According to A Bola, United are preparing a proposal for Goncalo Inacio, with Sporting Lisbon holding out for €60 million to activate his release clause. Negotiations may involve an installment payment plan, facilitated by the strong relationship between the clubs, established since the transfers of Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Marcos Rojo, and Bruno Fernandes.
Inacio’s Availability and Performance
Inacio, who is under contract until June 2027 and linked with a potential move to Liverpool, stands out for his availability. Over the past two seasons, he has played 108 matches for club and country, a significant advantage given United’s defensive injury issues last season. This season, Inacio has made 49 appearances for Sporting and 5 for Portugal. He is set to participate in Euro 2024 in Germany.
Conclusion
Sporting Lisbon expects a Manchester United proposal for Goncalo Inacio soon. With his impressive record of availability and performance, Inacio is a key player to watch this summer as United look to bolster their defense.
