Leonino exclusive - Sporting keeper's future in doubt, could leave | OneFootball

Catarina Potra has an uncertain future at Sporting, Leonino has learned. The goalkeeper for the Club from Alvalade’s women’s football team is out of contract at the end of the season, and there have still been no talks regarding a possible renewal.

The lionesses’ squad could undergo some changes next season, and the 20-year-old goalkeeper is one of the cases the green-and-white structure must resolve by the summer. The young Portugal international is waiting for a decision to find out whether she will remain at Alvalade or have to look for another club to continue her career.

Sporting ended up renewing Catarina Potra’s contract in the summer of 2024, extending it until 2026. Now, a decision is needed from the Lions. The goalkeeper faces significant competition in Micael Sequeira’s squad, and much of her time has been spent on the bench.

30-year-old Anna Wellmann has been the coach’s most frequent choice to protect the lionesses’ goal and is under contract with Sporting until 2027. Meanwhile, Julia Wozniak — who has split her time between the B team and the main squad — is seen as one for the future, further limiting Potra’s space at this stage.

In the current season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Catarina Potra has already been selected on ten occasions: two in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, two in the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup, five in Liga BPI and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 900 minutes she has been on the pitch, she has conceded nine goals.
