Manchester United pursues loan-to-buy deal for defender Goncalo Inacio

Manchester United is considering a loan-to-buy deal for Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio, valued at £33.5 million. This comes as the club aims to strengthen its defense amid uncertainty over current players' futures. Borussia Dortmund is also interested in Inacio, creating competition for his signature. United has been monitoring him since before the arrival of new coach Ruben Amorim. Inacio's agent recently met with INEOS in England and is set to discuss potential offers with Dortmund. Sporting is expected to receive offers soon, with the club likely aiming for a price closer to Inacio's £51 million release clause.
