Geny Catamo has told Sunderland he wants move, but Sporting resist | OneFootball

Geny Catamo remains at the top of Sunderland’s list of targets to strengthen the attack, but negotiations with Sporting are far from straightforward. The Mozambican winger is open to a move to the Premier League, although the English side are still unwilling to meet Sporting’s demands.

According to Scott Wilson, Sunderland consider the €40 million fixed fee requested by Sporting to let go of their number 10 too high. The two clubs remain in talks, but the Black Cats’ negotiating team has not changed its position in recent days.

On the player’s side, the desire to experience English football has reportedly already been conveyed to Sunderland by the representatives of Geny Catamo on several occasions. Even so, the winger has no intention of forcing a move and remains fully part of Rui Borges’ plans.

Sporting are holding firm, mainly because of the importance the Mozambican has taken on at the start of the season and the proximity of the transfer deadline. Any departure would also force the club’s hierarchy to quickly find an alternative for the attacking department.

The matter could therefore drag on until very close to next week’s transfer deadline. Sunderland and Sporting remain in contact, but their positions will need to come closer for Geny Catamo’s transfer to move forward.
