Sporting's new signing tied down until 2031, but Lions yet to unveil him | OneFootball

Kaique Pereira is now a Sporting player, having signed a contract with the Lions until June 2031. The 23-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper arrived in Lisbon, underwent the usual medical exams, and had his paperwork processed in time to be registered in the league.

Although he is now officially registered, the new signing did not join the squad that travelled north. Rui Borges felt that the short amount of time working with his new teammates was not enough to include the Brazilian among the options for the match against Rio Ave.

The arrival of the Sporting squad in Gaia made it possible to see who, for now, will be the alternatives in goal. Diego Callai and Francisco Silva were the goalkeepers seen at the location where Sporting held their training camp before the trip to Vila do Conde.

Kaique, signed from Palmeiras for 4 million euros, should now have a few days to settle into the group, get to know his teammates better, and work with the coaching staff. His first call-up will therefore be delayed, while the official announcement of the signing is expected to take place over the weekend.

Moncef Zekri, another of the new signings, was also left out of the trip. The left-back was signed from Mechelen and will wear the number 18 shirt. The Lions’ next match will be at home against Nacional, in the fifth round, with the date and time still to be confirmed.
