Geny Catamo fed up at Sporting? Chiquinho Conde opens up: He wants it too | OneFootball

Chiquinho Conde did not hide his displeasure at Sporting’s alleged refusal to negotiate Geny Catamo with Sunderland. The Mozambique national team coach believes the winger has already given a lot to the Lions and deserves the chance to try another league.

According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, the English club made a concrete approach for the player, but the SAD led by Frederico Varandas showed no willingness to discuss a transfer for Geny Catamo. A stance that surprised the Mozambican coach.

“He also wants to take this opportunity, because in football timing is everything, and this will affect his subconscious. Honestly, I think Sporting, sooner or later, will have to let him go, if that also benefits Sporting’s own structure. I imagine he must also be going through a period of great anxiety. I think it is also time for him to prove himself in other leagues,” he told Antena 1.

“He has already given so, so much to Sporting. I think this is also the ideal time for him to leave. As the national team coach, I would be grateful, because I would have a player with extra motivation, and the national team would also benefit enormously, from a sporting point of view, from that change,” added Chiquinho Conde.

The coach knows Alvalade well, having represented Sporting between 1994 and 1996. During that period, the former striker recorded three goals and one assist in 31 official matches, in addition to being part of the teams that won a Portuguese Cup and a Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup.
