Varandas keeps striker snubbed by António Salvador at Braga | OneFootball

Sporting is willing to renew Beatriz Fonseca's contract, Leonino has learned. The striker of the Club of Alvalade’s women’s football team continues to impress the management this sporting season, which could earn her another year on her contract.

The Portuguese international, who has represented her country nine times, joined the Lionesses from Braga in 2024/25, having only signed a one-year deal at the time. Meanwhile, last summer, the footballer known as 'Bia Meio-Metro' extended her contract with Sporting until 2026. However, a source close to our newspaper confirmed that she may repeat this achievement.

Despite some ups and downs in Sporting’s women’s team during the first half of the season, Beatriz Fonseca has been regularly chosen as a starter by Micael Sequeira, which makes the Board view the 27-year-old player’s contribution very positively.

It is worth recalling that, at the time of her first renewal with Sporting – on July 23, 2025 – the Portuguese international highlighted her development at Alvalade, expressing gratitude for the opportunities: “I kept doing my job. At first, I didn’t get many minutes, but I trusted the process and it paid off.”

This season, playing for Sporting, Beatriz Fonseca has already been an option for Micael Sequeira 14 times: twice in the Women’s Champions League, four times in the Europa Cup, seven in the Liga BPI, and once in the League Cup. In the 1,234 minutes she has been on the pitch, the player has provided eight assists, but is yet to score a goal.
