Real Madrid targets Goncalo Inacio as Mourinho seeks defensive upgrades
Summary

Real Madrid is reportedly pursuing Goncalo Inacio, a defender from Sporting CP, as part of a defensive overhaul under manager Jose Mourinho this summer. The 24-year-old Inacio, noted for his left-footed central defense, recently signed a contract with Sporting CP until 2030, complicating a potential transfer. The asking price for the Portuguese international is around €60 million, a figure that could increase if interest from other clubs arises. Mourinho has already secured three new signings and aims to add another defender before the season begins.
