Sporting eye goalkeeper who faced Portugal | OneFootball

José “Tala” Rangel, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for Chivas Guadalajara, is attracting interest from European football, with Sporting among the clubs keeping a close eye on his situation. His strong performances for the Mexican club and also for the Mexico national team, which faced Portugal during the last international break, have raised the player’s profile.

According to Fox Sports Mexico, Sporting Sporting have made an enquiry to find out the goalkeeper’s contract terms and the fee demanded for his transfer. Besides the Lions, Feyenoord are also said to be monitoring the Mexican international’s situation.

Raúl Rangel made his debut for Chivas’ first team in October 2023, in a match against Toluca, and has since established himself as a regular option. His consistent performances opened the door to the Mexico national team, where he has been getting regular minutes.

According to Transfermarkt, the goalkeeper is currently valued at around €6 million, a figure considered affordable for the various European clubs interested in strengthening that position. Even so, at Sporting, the situation is clear: Rui Silva is the starter, with João Virgínia behind him and Diego Callai pushing for a place in the squad.

In service of Chivas, including his spell with the reserve side Tapatío, Rangel has already gone past the 100-game mark, with 110 goals conceded. For Mexico, he has 11 caps and has started the last five matches, against Panama, Bolivia, Iceland, Portugal and Belgium.
