No way back! Goalkeeper is definitely leaving Sporting | OneFootball

Diego Callai is preparing to leave Sporting on loan during the current transfer window. The club’s hierarchy believes the goalkeeper is already above the level of the Second League and wants to place him in a more demanding environment.

The shot-stopper has no room in the first-team squad, with Rui Silva set to be the starter and João Virgínia expected to remain the second-choice option. If he were to stay in Alvalade as the third-choice goalkeeper, Callai would risk playing very few minutes throughout the season.

Despite the imminent loan move, Sporting still sees the player as one for the future. The 22-year-old has a contract valid until June 2030 and a release clause set at 80 million euros.

Last season, Diego Callai the goalkeeper also became familiar with the reality of the second tier, having even represented Feirense on loan.
