Leonino exclusive - Frederico Varandas' board seek keeper for Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting are already in the market looking for a goalkeeper for the women’s football team, Leonino has learned. Following Anna Wellmann’s departure, the Lions’ structure does not want to waste any time in filling the vacancy left by the German.

The 30-year-old German goalkeeper will not continue guarding the Lionesses’ goal, in what should be a farewell after just one season in Alvalade. As such, the team coached by Micael Sequeira loses its first-choice option, which is somewhat alarming.

For now, Julia Wozniak and Catarina Potra remain in the squad — although even the latter may have an uncertain future at Sporting. As such, the green-and-white scouting department has already started exploring options, as it intends to secure the signing of an experienced goalkeeper.

It is worth remembering that this was Anna Wellmann’s first experience outside Germany, after a career spent in her home country. Before moving to Sporting, she stood out at Bayern Munich, where she won two league titles, as well as a Cup and a Super Cup.
