Before leaving Sporting, Geny Catamo sat down with Frederico Varandas | OneFootball

Geny Catamo will leave Sporting for a month to play in the AFCON with Mozambique. Before that, the player will have resolved his contract renewal process with Sporting. It appears that the Lions have already reached an agreement with the player.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the Mozambican international sat down at the negotiating table with the green and white management to review his current contract— which runs until 2028, with a net salary of 400 thousand euros per season and a release clause of 60 million, following the already confirmed renewals of Pote, Gonçalo Inácio and even Salvador Blopa.

The process with Geny Catamo seems to have been easy, since the 'number 10' is very happy at Alvalade and has been waiting for this new step for some time, also so that Sporting would recognize the work he has been doing. Therefore, the same source reveals that the 24-year-old player will only sign this new deal when he returns to Sporting, but that it is an extension until 2030 and an increase of the release clause to 80M. The salary should also rise to somewhere between 700 and 750 thousand euros not including taxes.

This decision by Sporting ends up being a reward for Geny Catamo's dedication under Rui Borges. In the last transfer window, the player was close to leaving due to a very tempting offer, but now he is one of the players the coach does not want to part with.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo—valued at 15 million euros—has already played 20 matches. In the 1,094 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the left-footer has scored three goals and assisted his teammates on three other occasions.
