Coach blames Sporting for Geny Catamo saga: badly drawn contract | OneFootball

Geny Catamo remains one of the most sensitive cases in this final stretch of Sporting’s transfer window. The SAD does not intend to sell the Mozambican winger, but Sunderland remain interested and the forward wants to move to the Premier League. For João Janeiro, all of this is the result of the Club’s poor management.

"Sporting have been hurt by this promise that players can leave the following year, because then they don’t show up for training. Morten Hjulmand didn’t show up, Viktor Gyökeres didn’t show up, Ousmane Diomande threw a tantrum. So they end up suffering because of those promises," he began by saying on BOLA TV.

The former assistant coach of Estoril and Belenenses doubled down on his opinion. "We’ll have to see how things unfold, but once again a player is the victim of a poorly drawn-up contract, in which the release clauses do not correspond to 10% of his salary, so the players are hungry", he said.

It is worth remembering that Sporting initially pointed to the €60 million set out in the release clause, but the intermediaries involved in the process will have informed the English club that the deal for Geny Catamo could be completed for around €40 million.
