Geny Catamo could be on his way out of Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting has already reached an agreement to renew Geny Catamo's contract (which will be announced in the coming days), but the extension of the deal comes mainly with a strategic objective: to prepare for a future sale. The new contract, valid until 2028, allows the Lions to strengthen their negotiating position and avoid having the winger enter the final year of his contract without any leverage in the market.

Although the renewal represents a sign of confidence in the player, the Sporting SAD sees the winger as an asset with significant appreciation potential. The idea is to secure the player contractually so that, at the right moment, they can maximize the financial return from a possible move abroad, a scenario that is considered likely, according to the newspaper 'A Bola'.

Internally, the understanding is that the departure could happen as soon as one of the next transfer windows, depending on the offers that arrive at Alvalade. Sporting thus aims to ensure that any future negotiation is conducted from a position of strength, protecting the Club's interests.

Como, Aston Villa, Everton, and Fulham, and most recently in the winter transfer window, Lyon, have all sought information about the left-footer's conditions. Even so, the Sporting management refused to open negotiations, considering the player an essential piece until the end of the season.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has played 27 matches. In the 1,620 minutes he has been on the pitch, the left-footer, who is under contract until June 2028, has scored six goals and assisted his teammates on four occasions.
