Official! João Virgínia's brother joins Dani Alves' club | OneFootball

It’s official. Pedro Virgínia, brother of João Virgínia, has been unveiled as a new signing for São João de Ver, a team that competes in Liga 3. The 22-year-old goalkeeper joins the Vila Nova de Gaia club after having represented Rio Ave’s under-23 side.

The new signing began his development with English side Arsenal and later went through Porto’s youth ranks before moving to the Vila do Conde club. The keeper also has one cap for Portugal’s under-16 national team.

"Having played for Arsenal and Porto and been capped at youth level by Portugal, Virgínia arrives at São João de Ver with experience, quality and ambition to protect our goal," the club highlighted, with Dani Alves as one of the shareholders of the SAD.

Meanwhile, João Virgínia could still leave Sporting in this transfer window, and the board is already considering moving for a new goalkeeper to cover the possible departure of the No. 12. The Lions’ priority is to secure a young player with room for development.
