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

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

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

"Having played for Arsenal and Porto and represented Portugal at youth level, Virgínia arrives at São João de Ver with experience, quality and ambition to protect our goal," the club highlighted, which has Dani Alves as one of the shareholders of its 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 number 12. The Lions’ priority is to secure a young player with room for development.
