Sporting defender set for loan move to Portuguese league's 4th-placed side | OneFootball

After making her debut for Sporting’s first team - which is already preparing the squad - last season, a performance that earned her a professional contract in June, Constança Maia could leave on loan during this transfer window, with the aim of gaining competitive rhythm and experience in the league.

According to Flashscore, Valadares Gaia, who finished fourth in the last Liga BPI season, have already informed the Sporting hierarchy that they are interested in taking the 18-year-old youngster into their squad on loan for the upcoming season.

This is a scenario that appeals to all parties involved in the deal. The recent examples of Carolina Santiago and Maísa Correia, who also had to seek other paths to develop away from Alcochete, are seen as positive signs for Constança Maia.

The young player sees this new possibility as a boost of confidence in her potential, an opportunity to get minutes, gain competitive maturity and hopes to return to Sporting better prepared to establish herself in the first team.
