Loan potential has fallen: staying in Alvalade as the third goalkeeper

Diego Callai’s future is defined: the 20-year-old goalkeeper remains at Sporting to be the third choice in goal, behind Vladan Kovacevic and Franco Israel. The possibility of a new loan was discussed but in the meantime it went through, with the Brazilian starting to count on Rúben Amorim.

At a time when the Lions were without one of their goalkeepers, the youngster Diogo Pinto, due to a sprained left ankle, the certainty that Callai is still in the team, working with the two highest in the hierarchy and with the youngster injured, he will protect the B team – it is Francis Silva, who seems to have protected Diogo in the last rounds of last season, when Adán and Israel were injured at the same time, and that is that’s why he became a national hero, the one chosen for the under-23s.

Callai, remember, was loaned to Feirense last season, in January, to gain competitive experience, he started as a starter but lost steam and ended up with 11 games in Ligue 2. He came back to his home base for the pre-season, e. they had the chance to show who had progressed and regained their place in the holding structure.

A young man considered promising from a young age, he is looking for an opportunity, but he knows that he is going after Kovacevic and Franco Israel. For now he is still in the main team, it will not be strange to play in the B team game In January the situation will be reassessed, whether he continues with Rúben Amorim or he seeks competition in a new place.
