Manuel Ugarte is locked in at Paris Saint-Germain. Uruguayans have already undergone medical tests and certification takes hours. However, the French were not satisfied with just the ‘shirt of the lions’ and are now targeting Gonzalo Inacio, the most likely defender of the Ruben Amorim scheme, as Leonino is known.
Looking for a revolution in the defensive axis, the Gallic giants see in the Portuguese international the perfect reinforcement, lined up with three defenders, just like the green and the whites.
Defense concerns
With Sergio Ramos’ departure already confirmed, Danilo at the age of 31 and Marquinhos approaching 30, the Parisians are intent on acquiring a young centre-back with room to advance. Inácio is seen as a perfect fit and, in addition to being left-handed, just like Kimpembe, the ’25 shirt’ is an expert at passing – short and long – and has the ability to play from behind, which is key at PSG, being a team that leads every game in French league.
Porches have a plan in motion
After a disastrous season, Sporting want to win titles again, which is why they cannot lose key players. With Ugarte gone, Varanda wasted no time and proceeded to implement a renovation plan with Inácio. The youngster will get a raise, to around 1 million euros clean, and the termination clause will go up, from 45 to 60 million. In this way, even if the center left Alphalady, the lions would be guaranteed a good financial income, since they owned 100% of the lane.
Preparation
This season, Gonzalo Inácio – worth €25m – has played 52 matches, scoring four goals and providing three assists. In all, with the green and white list, the Portugal international has 122 appearances, 11 accurate goals, 8 assists and four titles.
