Official: Varandas pulls rank and keeps two of Rui Borges’ gems at Sporting | OneFootball

Diego Callai and Salvador Blopa have renewed with Sporting until 2030. The Lions remain very active in preparing their squad for the future, and Frederico Varandas has managed to reach an agreement with two names who seem ready to take on an important role in the coming years at the Alvalade Club.

Regarding the Brazilian goalkeeper, the news is official. Sporting announced, through its official channels, the contract renewal with the 21-year-old Brazilian, who is now contractually tied to the Club until 2030. Although he is still awaiting his debut with the first team, he has been guarding the net for the green and white B team, which has been having a fantastic campaign in Liga 2.

"I am very happy (...) It is a sign of great confidence from Sporting. Now I have to do a good job to repay that trust day by day, in every training session and match (...) I have been here since I was very young. I was very well received by everyone who accompanied my growth at this Academy. I am very happy to be able to continue here developing my work. I am sure that everyone is very happy for me, which motivates me to do even more and better," said Callai to the official channels of the Alvalade Club.

Salvador Blopa’s renewal has not yet been made official by Sporting, but the newspaper Record reports that the deal is done between the young winger and the Alvalade Club - as was already anticipated. The 18-year-old player is also renewing until 2030. Although the information still awaits confirmation, all indications are that the release clause will be set at 80 million euros.

Salvador Blopa has already been introduced by Rui Borges to Sporting’s first team this season, and his good performances for both the A and B teams of the Lions will also earn him a salary increase, in addition to the contract extension. The player may even take on an important role in the coming weeks, as the Lions are dealing with several injuries in the position occupied by the Portuguese winger.
