After rejecting €20m, Sporting want €60m from Saudi clubs for key man | 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 progress.

Even so, the Sporting hierarchy do not intend to make any deal easy in this summer transfer window. The green-and-white SAD considers the winger a key player for Rui Borges and, as such, is not willing to let the player go for figures below those 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 closely following the player’s situation. Unable to secure the winger’s signing, the Italian club ended up turning its attention to Alisson. The Naples side signed the Brazilian on loan before moving for a permanent deal, in a transfer that reached €20 million.

The possibility of a multi-million proposal emerging in the coming weeks cannot be ruled out. However, for now, Sporting are maintaining a firm stance on the matter.
