Leonino exclusive - Varandas board already eye Sporting keeper | OneFootball

Sporting are already in the market looking for a goalkeeper for the women’s football team, Leonino has learned. As a result of Anna Wellmann’s departure, the Lions’ hierarchy do not want to waste any time filling the vacancy left by the German.

The 30-year-old German goalkeeper will not continue to defend the Lionesses’ goal, in what is expected to be a farewell after just one season at Alvalade. As such, the team coached by Micael Sequeira loses its first-choice option, which is something of a concern.

For now, Julia Wozniak and Catarina Potra remain in the squad — although even the latter may have an uncertain future at Sporting. As such, the green-and-white scouting department has already begun exploring options, as it aims to secure the signing of an experienced goalkeeper.

It is worth remembering that this was Anna Wellmann’s first experience outside Germany, after a career spent in her home country. Before moving to Sporting, she stood out at Bayern Munich, where she won two league titles, as well as a Cup and a Super Cup.
