Sporting's new signing tied down until 2031, but no unveiling yet | 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 examinations, and had the paperwork processed in time to be registered for the league.

Although he has already been officially registered, the new signing was not part of the group that traveled north. Rui Borges felt that the limited time working with his new teammates was not enough to include the Brazilian among the options for the match against Rio Ave.

The Leonine squad’s arrival 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 traveling 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 his 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 to Nacional, in the fifth round, with the date and time still to be confirmed.
