Overview
- Reports in SPORT and A Bola say Sporting plan a three-year extension that would push Inácio’s deal to 2030 and raise his €60m clause to €80m.
- Inácio is currently under contract until 2027 with a €60m release clause, a figure suitors had hoped could be negotiated down before renewal.
- Barcelona are evaluating the left-footed centre-back after Íñigo Martínez’s departure created a need on the left side of defense.
- Football España reports Barcelona’s budget limits, including the need to find a Robert Lewandowski successor, could block a big outlay unless Inácio declines new terms.
- Marc Guehi is viewed as a lower-cost alternative, with reporting that he could be available on a free next summer, and other European clubs are monitoring Inácio.
