Exclusive: Sporting starlet set for move in coming weeks | OneFootball

Diego Callai has an uncertain future at Sporting and may leave during the winter transfer window, according to Leonino. Although he is seen as the successor to Rui Silva in the Alvalade Club’s goal, the 21-year-old player’s lack of experience on the big stage could influence the decision.

Even though he regularly trains with the first team, the goalkeeper has not had opportunities under Rui Borges, due to strong competition. In this sense, as our newspaper has learned, a loan move is being considered as a solution, allowing him to gain more experience.

Moreover, there is no shortage of clubs keeping an eye on the player’s situation, especially in Portugal, where several teams view the arrival of a young player with room for development very positively. For now, there is still no final decision or formal offers.

The Alvalade Club wants guarantees that the footballer will be used regularly. The decision should be made after the January transfer window opens, depending on the sporting context and the opportunities that arise. The Lions foresee a great future for the goalkeeper, which is why they renewed his contract until 2030 (Learn more HERE).

In the current sports season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Diego Callai – valued at 1.2 million euros – has played 11 matches, all in Liga 2. For Sporting’s B team, led by João Gião, the goalkeeper has played 990 minutes, conceding only seven goals.
