Bombshell! After Sporting frustration, star heads for Italy | OneFootball

Ana Capeta will represent Juventus, confirmed the Italian club. The Portuguese forward, 28 years old, is temporarily leaving Alvalade to embrace a new challenge in European women's football, in a loan deal that includes a purchase option in favor of the bianconeri, although no values have been disclosed.

The Portuguese international has been with Sporting since 2016, and has been one of the most consistent figures in the club's project over the past seasons. Her journey at Alvalade was only interrupted in the 2021/22 season, when she played for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and later for Famalicão, before returning to the lionesses.

This season, Ana Capeta participated in 11 matches for Sporting - which has news about the return of Ioannidis, in which she scored three goals. Despite regular playtime, the player now opts for an experience outside Portugal, joining one of the most competitive teams in Italian women's football, currently fighting for the top spots in the championship.

It is worth noting that the 28-year-old forward may have questioned some of the coach's decisions Micael Sequeira in the recent match against V. Guimarães, where she was a used substitute, a reaction that may not have been well received by the club's management, resulting in this decision by the Club.

Born in Aljustrel, in the district of Beja, Ana Capeta has 53 caps for the national women's team. Juventus currently occupies third place in the Italian Serie A, with 23 points, one behind Inter Milan and six behind the leader Roma. Besides the internal competition, the Italian club is also preparing to compete in the play-off for access to the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League, against Wolfsburg, where the Portuguese player's international experience could be an important asset.
