Rio Ave goalkeeper on Sporting's radar | OneFootball

Sporting remain active in the transfer market and could soon strengthen the women’s team’s goalkeeping department. Cassie Coster, Rio Ave’s goalkeeper, is very highly rated at Alvalade and is one of the names preferred by the Lions’ hierarchy for next season.

The overhaul of the squad coached by Micael Sequeira is still underway and, after several departures have already been confirmed, the green-and-white officials are looking to add quality and depth to various areas of the team. Goalkeeper is one of the positions being looked at especially closely.

According to information obtained by Flashscore, there is a strong possibility that Sporting will move to sign the American goalkeeper in the coming days. The player’s profile appeals to the club’s decision-makers, who have been closely monitoring her development since her arrival in Portuguese football.

Cassie Coster completed her first season with Rio Ave in 2025/26, after going through her entire training and development pathway in the United States. Before moving to Portugal, she stood out in the highly competitive American college circuit, gaining experience and visibility.

The goalkeeper’s possible arrival comes at a time of major changes in Sporting’s squad. Players such as Anna Wellmann, Catarina Potra, Rita Almeida, Beatriz Fonseca and Brittany Raphino have already left the club, while names like Madalena Marau, Ágata Filipa and Ana Dias have been mentioned as reinforcements for the new season.
