Geny Catamo remains calm at Sporting, despite Sunderland’s repeated attempts to secure his signing. The Mozambique international has shown no signs of dissatisfaction and remains focused on his work under Rui Borges.
According to ‘Desporto ao Minuto’, the player is calmly waiting for the outcome of the process and remains on the sidelines of the negotiations between the two clubs. Sunderland have once again submitted an offer that could reach 40 million euros, but Sporting’s board rejected the terms of the deal.
Sporting are willing to discuss a possible departure for 40 million euros, but they want that amount to be guaranteed and not dependent on objectives. In the latest offer, the English side put forward 30 million fixed plus 10 million in bonuses, of which only 1.5 million would be easily achievable.
Geny Catamo’s attitude, however, has been completely normal. The winger started in the Lions’ Liga Portugal Betclic opener against Estrela da Amadora and was directly involved in Sporting’s first goal, setting up Rodrigo Zalazar.
With a contract until 2029 and a 60 million euro release clause, the No. 10 knows he is still considered an important player by Rui Borges. While Sporting and Sunderland discuss the future, Geny remains part of the squad and is not pushing for a transfer.
