Sofia Oliveira: Varandas ‘should be jailed’ over Sporting sale lie (video) | OneFootball

Sofia Oliveira strongly criticized Frederico Varandas over Sporting’s alleged decision to reject a €40 million offer for Geny Catamo. The pundit considers it incomprehensible that the Lions turned down a fee of that size for the Mozambican winger.

On the ‘Tiki Tasca’ podcast, Sofia Oliveira was blunt: “I just want to say one thing. If it’s true, Frederico Varandas, that you turned down a €40 million offer for Geny Catamo, you need to go to jail. Jail, you understand? If that’s true, you have to go to jail. Sorry about that. This is a hell of a joke.”

The pundit also went on to mock the exact amount put on the table, recalling the information recently reported: “40? Or 35? Because that’s how it appeared on the front page of Record: 'Sporting, or Varandas, ties down Geny. Sporting turns down a €40 million offer because Rui Borges thinks he’s a key player' … Wow”.

Sunderland have been pushing to sign the 'number 10' and even put forward €30 million fixed plus €10 million in add-ons. Sporting did not accept the terms of the deal and, to even consider negotiating, want to receive at least €40 million guaranteed.

Rui Borges considers Geny Catamo a key part of the squad and has already told the board he wants to keep the Mozambique international. The player, for his part, remains calm at Alvalade and is not pushing for a move, despite the ongoing interest from the Premier League.
