After rejecting €20m in January, Sporting ask Saudis for €60m | OneFootball

The future of Geny Catamo at Sporting continues to make headlines. The Mozambique international is attracting interest from several Premier League and Saudi Arabian clubs, who are closely monitoring the player’s development.

Even so, Sporting’s officials have no intention of making any deal easy in this summer transfer window. The green-and-white SAD considers the winger a key player for Rui Borges and, therefore, is not willing to let the player go for less than the amount set out in his contract.

Sporting have already made it clear to potential suitors that they will only consider selling the player if his €60 million release clause is paid. During the winter transfer window, Aston Villa and Fenerbahçe submitted offers in the region of €20 million, but both were rejected.

At the time, Lyon and Napoli were also following the player’s situation closely. Unable to secure the winger’s signing, the Italian club eventually turned its attention to Alisson. The Neapolitan side signed the Brazilian on loan before moving to make the deal permanent in a transfer worth €20 million.

The possibility of a multimillion-euro offer arriving in the coming weeks has not been ruled out. However, for now, Sporting are maintaining a firm stance on the matter.
