Lassana Camará (born 29 December 1991), commonly known as Saná, is a Bissau-Guinean footballer who plays for Portuguese club Leixões S.C. as a central midfielder. He also holds Portuguese citizenship.

Club career

Born in Bissau, Guinea Bissau, Camará spent four years in S.L. Benfica's youth system, scoring two goals in 33 games in his last year as a junior. He started his professional career at Servette FC in Switzerland: having arrived injured from the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, he only returned to competition in January 2011, and played just 257 minutes in the second division campaign as the João Alves-led team – a former Benfica player and also his manager in the juniors – attained Super League promotion.

On 9 July 2011, Camará signed a three-year contract with Real Valladolid in Spain.[1] At the end of his first and only season the team promoted to La Liga after a two-year absence, but he only totalled 33 minutes of action and was released.

On 30 August 2014, after nearly two years without a club and a brief spell in Brazil, Camará signed with S.C. Braga, being assigned to the reserves in the second level.[2]

International career

Saná won 51 caps for Portugal at youth level, including 13 for the under-20s which he helped reach the final at the 2011 FIFA World Cup,[3] appearing in three games.

Saná switched allegiance to Guinea Bissau in 2014, making his debut on 2 August by playing 59 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Botswana for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[4]
