Deal done! Sporting sign 31-year-old from Braga | OneFootball

Sporting remains active in the market ahead of next season and has already identified some targets to strengthen the women’s football team. The priority for the Lions’ structure is to add experience and depth to Micael Sequeira’s squad, at a time when the Club intends to challenge for domestic titles again next season.

According to newspaper A Bola, Ágata Filipa is very close to becoming a new signing for the Lionesses. The 31-year-old left-back finished her contract with Braga and is expected to return to Lisbon to join the green-and-white project. The Portugal international has extensive experience in domestic and international football, following spells with Glasgow City, Servette and Fleury 91.

In addition to Ágata Filipa, Sporting remain alert to other market opportunities. Madalena Marau, a left-back who played for Racing Power last season, is also on the list of potential signings for the Alvalade club. Another name highly rated by the Lions’ structure is young goalkeeper Carol Alves, a 20-year-old player who was with Valadares Gaia.

Preparations for the new season come at a time when Sporting are looking to reduce the gap to Benfica in Portuguese women’s football. The Lionesses finished last season’s league campaign in second place with 35 points, while the Eagles won a sixth consecutive title with 48 points.
