Goalkeeper who faced Portugal on Sporting’s radar | OneFootball

José “Tala” Rangel, a 26-year-old goalkeeper for Chivas Guadalajara, is attracting interest from European football, with Sporting among the clubs keeping an eye on his situation. His strong performances for the Mexican club and also for the Mexico national team, which faced Portugal during the last international break, have increased the player’s visibility.

According to Mexico’s Fox Sports, Sporting have made an enquiry to find out the goalkeeper’s contractual conditions and the fee being demanded for his transfer. In addition to the Lions, Feyenoord are also said to be monitoring the Mexican international’s case.

Raúl Rangel made his debut for Chivas’ first team in October 2023, in a match against Toluca, and has since established himself as a regular option. His consistent performances opened the doors to the Mexico national team, where he has been getting regular minutes.

According to Transfermarkt, the goalkeeper is currently valued at around €6 million, a figure considered affordable for the various European clubs interested in strengthening the position. Even so, at Sporting, the situation is clear: Rui Silva is the starter, with João Virgínia behind him and Diego Callai pushing to move up to the first-team squad.

While playing for Chivas, including his spell with the reserve side Tapatío, Rangel has already passed the 100-match mark, with 110 goals conceded. For the Mexico national team, he has 11 caps and started the last five matches, against Panama, Bolivia, Iceland, Portugal and Belgium.
