Official! Forward bids farewell to Sporting, joins Juventus for 50m... | OneFootball

It’s official. Ana Capeta said goodbye to Sporting this Monday, bringing an end to a nine-year spell with the Alvalade club, at a time when Juventus confirmed the permanent signing of the Portuguese international.

After representing the Italian side on loan in the second half of the current season, the Turin club announced that it had exercised the option to buy the 28-year-old player, who signed a contract until June 2028 for €50,000.

On social media, the player left a farewell message to Sporting. “Today my connection with Sporting comes to an end, an important chapter in my career,” she wrote, thanking the club “for the opportunity to represent this shirt” over the last nine seasons.

The forward also acknowledged the difficulties she had experienced in Alvalade in recent times. “Not every moment was easy, especially in this final phase, but I take with me the lessons, the growth and the certainty that the less positive experiences are also part of development,” she said.

It should be remembered that Ana Capeta was linked to Sporting - who ended the season with a draw - since 2016, having been one of the most consistent figures in the Lions’ project over the last few seasons. Her journey wearing the lion on her chest was only interrupted in 2021/22, the season in which she played for PSV in the Netherlands and later Famalicão, before returning to Alvalade.
