Sporting put Geny Catamo up for sale, interest already growing | OneFootball

20 million euros: this is the price that Sporting has set to release Geny Catamo in the summer transfer market. According to information provided by the newspaper A Bola, the green and white structure is willing to negotiate the Mozambique international for a very attractive amount.

Sporting is counting on Geny Catamo again after his participation in the African Cup of Nations, a competition that took the Mozambican winger away from the last five games of the lions. Rui Borges sees the number 10 as a true winter reinforcement, counting on the player until the end of the season, in a decisive phase of the fight for the championship title.

Before leaving for the African Cup of Nations (CAN), Catamo was ready to renew his contract, a process that was well underway but eventually lost urgency. The Sporting administration believes that the matter can be closed later, especially since the current contract only ends in June 2028. Meanwhile, the market is starting to look at the Mozambican international again.

In the last summer transfer window, Fenerbahçe and Aston Villa showed interest in the winger, but the approaches did not convince Sporting. Even so, the Alvalade officials admit to negotiating at the beginning of the 2026/2027 season, his transfer for 20 million euros to open talks.

Also on the table is a renewal until 2030, with a salary increase and a rise in the release clause from the current 60 to 80 million euros. However, the possibility of a summer departure is real, especially after the appreciation achieved in the CAN, where Catamo scored two goals and made an assist, contributing to Mozambique's historic qualification for the quarter-finals of the competition.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has played 20 matches. In the 1,094 minutes he was on the pitch, the left-footer, who is under contract until June 2028, has scored three goals and assisted his teammates on three other occasions.
