César Peixoto snaps up João Virgínia as Sporting keeper heads out | OneFootball

is on his way out of Sporting and is expected to continue his career at Wolverhampton. The Portuguese goalkeeper is looking for a new challenge where he can play more regularly and compete more directly for a starting spot.

According to the ‘NOW’ channel, the Premier League club has emerged as the most likely destination for the player, who has seen his opportunities at Alvalade become increasingly limited due to the competition in Sporting’s goal.

Rui Silva remains Rui Borges’ first-choice option, and the green-and-white structure has also already moved forward with the signing of Kaique Pereira, who arrived in Lisbon this Wednesday.

Kaique’s arrival therefore definitively opens the door for João Virgínia’s departure. The Portuguese player wants to find a competitive environment where he can get more minutes, something that looked difficult at Sporting.

If the deal with Wolverhampton goes through, Virgínia will leave the Alvalade club for the second time and return to England, where he is already very familiar with the local football landscape. The goalkeeper is preparing to be coached by César Peixoto.
