On the eve of Benfica v Sporting, Geny Catamo gets a boost from Varandas | OneFootball

On the verge of another Benfica - Sporting match, one of the most decisive players in recent derbies is preparing to renew his contract with the Lions. Geny Catamo's case is being handled by the green and white structure and one of the main highlights concerns his release clause.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the release clause for the 'number 10' of the Alvalade Club will increase from 60 to 80 million euros as soon as he signs the new agreement with Sporting. After another stable season and three resolved derbies, Geny has a show of confidence from Frederico Varandas' structure.

Moreover, Geny Catamo will also receive a salary increase and an additional two or three years on his contract with Sporting - that is, from 2028 to 2030 or 2031, according to the same source. All this happens as the Mozambican international begins to attract some interest in his signing.

According to the latest news, the Sporting player is on the lists of several clubs and, last summer, Fenerbahçe and Aston Villa even tried to take Catamo from Alvalade. However, none of them reached the amount desired by the Lions' management: 25/30 million euros, only reaching 20M.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played 17 matches. In the 833 minutes he was on the field, the left-footer scored one goal and assisted his teammates on three occasions.
