Leonino exclusive: Sporting with updates on Geny Catamo’s contract talks | OneFootball

The process of extending Geny Catamo’s contract with Sporting is complete. According to information obtained by our newspaper, exclusively for Leonino, the official announcement of the new deal should take place in the coming days. The green and white SAD has secured the winger, ensuring the continuity of one of the most valuable and game-changing assets in the current squad.

The Mozambican international had already received the proposal to extend his contract before leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations. Now, negotiations have moved from intentions to practice, sealing the agreement that extends the current commitment. The mutual desire allowed for a swift and positive conclusion to this matter, which was considered a priority by the football management.

The new terms foresee a duration until 2030 and a substantial increase in the release clause, rising from 60 to 80 million euros. In addition, the left-footer will receive a significant salary increase, reflecting his importance to the group and serving as a direct response to the interest shown by the international market.

Even so, a possible transfer in the summer is not completely ruled out by Sporting, despite going against Rui Borges’ wishes. Clubs such as Fenerbahçe and Aston Villa have already made inquiries about Geny Catamo, but without success. To start negotiations, the management has demanded at least 20 million euros, the base amount to consider the player’s departure should irresistible financial offers arise.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Geny Catamo – valued at 15 million euros – has played 23 matches. In the 1,353 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the left-footer, who has a contract until June 2028, has scored five goals and assisted his teammates on four occasions.
