Manchester United eyeing £40 million move for Goncalo Inacio
Manchester United are planning to offer £40 million for Goncalo Inacio in January, according to Correio da Manha.The Portuguese defender has been a revelation for Sporting this season, appearing 17 times across competitions.
He’s a first-team regular, turning heads at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will be in the market for a new defender in 2024.
Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are staring at uncertain futures. Recent reports have also linked Raphael Varane with an exit from Manchester United. Inacio has been identified as an option to strengthen the backline, and the club are planning to move for him at the turn of the year.
Interestingly, the report also adds that the Red Devils could offload Varane to fund a move for Inacio.
Raphael Varane’s future at Old Trafford is up in the air.
Manchester United could allow Raphael Varane to leave Old Trafford for the right price in the winter, according to acclaimed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The French defender has dropped down the pecking order under Ten Hag this season, prompting talks of an exit.Pn The Debrief podcast, Romano added that the Red Devils want to sign a new defender in 2024.
“The message from Manchester United on Varane is that it’s a tactical decision. They are very happy with how Harry Maguire is playing.
“Now that Jonny Evans is injured, I’m sure Varane will get more playing time. Of course, if they receive important proposals for Varane, it could be an open situation in the January window,” said Romano.
He continued:
“United will decide on a centre-back signing depending on opportunities, but players like Todibo, an important player for Nice … it’s not easy to sign these players in the January window, so it might have to wait until the summer, but the idea is to bring in an important centre-back in 2024.”
Varane started the last four games in the league from the bench, playing a combined 18 minutes
