Sofia Oliveira: Varandas 'should be jailed' over Sporting sale (video) | OneFootball

Sofia Oliveira strongly criticized Frederico Varandas over Sporting’s alleged decision to reject a €40 million offer for Geny Catamo. The pundit finds it incomprehensible that the Lions turned down a fee of that size for the Mozambican winger.

On the ‘Tiki Tasca’ podcast, Sofia Oliveira was unequivocal: “I just want to say one thing. If it’s true, Frederico Varandas, that you turned down a €40 million offer for Geny Catamo, you need to go to prison. Prison, you understand? If that’s true, you have to go to prison. Sorry about that. This is one hell of a joke.”

The pundit also mocked the exact amount that had reportedly been put on the table, recalling the information recently published: “40? Or 35? Because it was there on the front page of Record: ‘Sporting, or Varandas, ties down Geny. Sporting reject €40 million offer because Rui Borges thinks he is a key player’ … Wow.”

Sunderland have been pushing to sign the ‘number 10’ and even put forward €30 million fixed plus €10 million in add-ons. Sporting did not accept the structure of the deal and want to receive at least €40 million guaranteed before they are willing to negotiate.

Geny Catamo is a key part of the squad and has already told the SAD that he wants to keep the Mozambique international. The player, for his part, remains calm at Alvalade and is not pushing for a move, despite the persistent interest coming from the Premier League.
