It's decided! Portuguese goalkeeper is leaving Sporting | OneFootball

Diego Callai still has no defined destination for the new season, but Sportingwants to loan out the player. The 22-year-old goalkeeper is still looking for a club, although there have not yet been any concrete contacts with any Primeira Liga side.

The news was reported by newspaper 'A Bola' this Tuesday, September 1. As our newspaper previously revealed, exclusively, the player has not been getting minutes with either Sporting’s first team or the B team at the start of the season, in order to avoid any risk of injury.

Developed at Sporting since 2015, the goalkeeper went through every level of the club’s academy before reaching senior football. Along the way, he had a loan spell at Feirense in the 2023/24 season, but he is still waiting to make his official debut for the first team.

Callai also completed the process of obtaining Portuguese citizenship in June, giving him dual Brazilian-Portuguese status. Although he has not yet managed to establish himself in the first team, he remains tied to Sporting’s project and could continue to develop through regular participation in Liga 2.

If no loan offer emerges that suits all parties, he will remain at Sporting and take on the role of third-choice goalkeeper for the first team. Rui Silva and Kaique are ahead of him in the pecking order, while the 22-year-old goalkeeper will have the B team as his main platform to compete and gain minutes.
