No turning back! Goalkeeper really is on his way out of Sporting | OneFootball

Diego Callai is preparing to leave Sporting on loan during the current transfer window. The Sporting hierarchy believes the goalkeeper is already above the level of the Segunda Liga and wants to place him in a more demanding environment.

The keeper has no room in the first-team squad, as Rui Silva is expected to be the starter and João Virgínia should remain the second choice. If he were to stay at Alvalade as the third-choice goalkeeper, Callai would risk getting very few minutes throughout the season.

Despite the imminent loan move, Sporting still sees the player as a prospect for the future. The 22-year-old has a contract valid until June 2030 and a release clause set at €80 million.

Last season, Diego Callai also became familiar with the reality of the second tier, having even represented Feirense on loan.
