After fans' criticism, Sporting make decision on Geny Catamo | OneFootball

Geny Catamo has been a starter for Sporting this season, but Rui Borges has left some fans dissatisfied.

Sporting wants to move forward with a salary review for Geny Catamo, which will see the green and white right winger’s salary increase considerably. Even after the close of the transfer window, the Lions’ management continues to work on several fronts to resolve some situations in the squad under Rui Borges. It should be recalled that the Mozambican recently received bad news.

The information was revealed by the newspaper A Bola. According to the national press, Sporting even tried to start talks at the end of last season, but the transfer market put any possible agreement between the Club and the player on stand-by, in case there was interest from abroad.

There was interest, but not the desired offer. Both Aston Villa and Fenerbahçe inquired about Geny Catamo, but neither club reached the 25 million euros fixed price for the player that Sporting wanted, and Geny Catamo ended up staying at Alvalade.

Thus, with the transfer window closed, the Sporting management decided to move forward with a contract renewal for the winger. Although his current contract runs until June 2028, which gives the Lions some leeway, Sporting wants to increase Geny Catamo’s salary, as he is one of the lowest earners in the squad.

The release clause should remain at 60 million euros, the contract extension is still under discussion, but the salary increase is a certainty. It should be remembered that Geny Catamo has become a starter under Rui Borges, even in the face of criticism from several fans, and as such, he has enjoyed an increasingly important role at the green and white club, which the Sporting management wants to reward soon.
