Tell us more.

In MSBuild, it's possible to specify the SDK like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.Build.NoTargets/3.4.0">
</Project>

Currently, Renovate supports specifying of these versions via global.json, but not via the project files themselves.

See the documentation (look for the Sdk attribute description).

Entry point for implementation would be manager/nuget/extract.ts, I believe.

It is also possible to specify sdkname & version in a <Sdk> element.¹
Should I do add that in the same PR or create a new issue for it?

I think it would be ok to have both in same PR. These are very related features.

There is also a third way to add project sdks using the Import element
