Watch out! Ed Sheeran's club want Geny Catamo from Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting are facing a new threat to their squad, with Geny Catamo attracting interest from several English clubs. The Mozambican winger remains an important player for the Lions, but his sharp rise in value is beginning to draw suitors from the Premier League.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Ipswich Town are among the interested clubs, a side with a special connection to Ed Sheeran, a well-known supporter and minority shareholder of the English club. The British team appears alongside Sunderland and Everton on the list of sides closely monitoring the situation of the 25-year-old forward.

Sunderland have reportedly already made a concrete move for the player, with an offer of €30 million plus €10 million in add-ons. The bid, however, was rejected by Sporting, who are said to have pointed directly to the €60 million release clause. The Premier League club are now preparing a new approach for the Mozambique international.

Ipswich are also keeping a close eye on the situation, while Everton are likewise among the interested clubs. English interest is growing at a time when the African international continues to be highly valued at Alvalade, after taking on an important role in recent seasons.

Sporting’s position in response to these approaches is clear: the winger is protected by a €60 million release clause. The Lions had already rejected a €25 million offer from Como in June 2026, showing that they do not intend to make it easy for a player who remains part of the club’s plans to leave.
