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

Sporting wants to proceed with a salary review for Geny Catamo, which will see the right winger's salary significantly increase. Even after the transfer market has closed, the lions' officials continue to work on various fronts to resolve some squad situations under Rui Borges. Recall that the Mozambican received bad news recently.

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

The interested parties came, but the desired proposal did not. Both Aston Villa and Fenerbahçe asked about Geny Catamo, but none of the clubs reached the 25 million euro fixed bar that Sporting wanted for the player, and Geny Catamo ended up staying in Alvalade.

Therefore, with the transfer market closed, the lions' officials decided to proceed with the contract renewal with the winger. Despite the current contract lasting until June 2028, which gives the lions some leeway, Sporting wants to increase Geny Catamo's salary, as the player is one of the lowest earners in the lions' squad.

The clause should remain at 60 million euros, the contract extension is up for discussion, but the increase is a given. Recall that Geny Catamo assumed a starting role with Rui Borges, even amidst criticism from several fans, and, as such, he has been enjoying an increasingly important role in the green and white Club, which the lions' officials want to reward soon.
