Man Utd make contact with Portuguese defender's agent

Manchester United have made contact with the agent of Sporting Lisbon star Goncalo Inacio, as per Record.

The Red Devils have been long-term admirers of the Portugal international and they have watched him regularly.

It is now reported that they are in discussions with his representative ahead of a potential transfer this summer.

Inacio is a talented ball-playing defender and he could be a quality deputy for Lisandro Martinez going forward.

Similar to Martinez, he is left foot dominant. He possesses a good physical presence and likes to engage opponents.

He would be a smart signing for the club, considering he has a low release clause of €40 million in his contract.

His arrival at United could pave the way for the departure of Harry Maguire, who wants regular game time.

Maguire is worried over his Euro 2024 spot amid his reduced minutes. He is likely to push for the exit door.

West Ham, Roma and Inter Milan are among the clubs interested in him.
