Geny Catamo takes a stand after Sporting rebuff Sunderland again

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 working under Rui Borges.

According to ‘Desporto ao Minuto’, the player is calmly awaiting 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, but Sporting’s board rejected the terms of the deal.

Sporting are willing to discuss a possible departure for €40 million, but want that amount to be guaranteed and not dependent on objectives. In the latest offer, the English club 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 one of complete normality. The winger started in the Lions’ Liga Portugal Betclic opener against Estrela da Amadora and was directly involved in Sporting’s first goal, providing the assist for Rodrigo Zalazar.

With a contract until 2029 and a €60 million release clause, the No. 10 knows he is still considered an important player by Rui Borges. While Sporting and Sunderland discuss his future, Geny remains fully involved and is not pushing for a transfer.
