Exclusive: Sporting's U-turn leaves Callai over the moon | OneFootball

Sporting has made the first approaches for a contract renewal with Diego Callai. As revealed by our newspaper in this Leonino Exclusive, the green and white management is very pleased with the young player's performances and has great confidence in the goalkeeper's potential.

According to information obtained from a source close to the process, the objective of the Board led by Frederico Varandas is to extend the contract of the 21-year-old keeper, who is currently tied to the Alvalade club until the end of the 2026/2027 season.

Sporting. The fact that the youngster has conceded only one goal in the four matches already played by the B team this season helps in the decision of the green and white SAD.

It is worth recalling that, still during the summer transfer window, Sporting ended up disappointing Callai. When Franco Israel left for Torino, the goalkeeper believed he could become Rui Silva’s backup, but the Lions brought João Virgínia back to be Rui Borges’ ‘number two’.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Diego Callai – valued at 1 million euros – has played four matches, all in Liga 2. For the Lions’ B team, managed by João Gião, the goalkeeper has played every possible minute (360), conceding just one goal.
