No way back! Goalkeeper really is leaving Sporting | OneFootball

Diego Callai is preparing to leave Sporting on loan during the current transfer window. The club’s 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 option. 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 one for the future. The 22-year-old is under contract until June 2030 and has a release clause set at €80 million.

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