Manchester United and Newcastle after Inacio a £70 million target. Newcastle United and Manchester United of the Premier League are interested in signing Goncalo Inacio, who debuted for Portugal against Liechtenstein on March 23. (according to O Jogo). The 21-year-old center-back Inacio presently competes for Sporting CP of Portugal.
For Ruben Amorim’s side this season, Inacio has made 40 appearances across various competitions, contributing to 15 clean sheets. Additionally, he has recorded three goals and three helpers. Inacio, who graduated from Sporting’s academy, made his senior team debut in 2020 and has since played 110 times for the side.
Inacio is a striker who excels at handling the ball while moving his feet. That approach might be beneficial for Erik ten Hag’s group.
Under Ten Hag, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have been Manchester United’s starting defenders. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire have played fewer games recently, and it’s possible that they’ll part ways in the summer.
A young, talented player like Inacio could be a wonderful addition to the Red Devils. The athlete is estimated to be worth around £70 million. United will need to fend off the Magpies’ desire, though.
Inacio most recently scored in the first game of the round of 16 UEFA Europa League matchups against Arsenal.
In the Euro 2024 qualifying games against Liechtenstein, Inacio made his Portugal debut. Inacio may soon play a major role in the 3-4-3 formation that Roberto Martinez, the new boss, intends to use.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the leader of Portugal, recently discussed leaving Manchester United. Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo’s second stint at Manchester United came to an abrupt conclusion. After an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, he mutually agreed to end his deal with the Red Devils.
Before Portugal’s match against Liechtenstein, Ronaldo said the following about his departure from the club (via GOAL): “Sometimes you have to go through some circumstances to see who’s on my side. You can tell who is on your team when things are tough. I don’t mind admitting that my professional tenure was not great, but there is no time for regrets.
Ronaldo continued saying: “Life goes on and, doing well or not, it was part of my growth. We frequently are unable to see what is below us when we are at the mountain’s peak. Since I had never experienced this, like in the previous few months, I am now better equipped, and that learning was crucial. I’m a better guy now.
In the match against Liechtenstein, Ronaldo made his 197th start for Portugal, breaking the previous mark for most international appearances in men’s football.
