Sporting are said to have rejected a €25m bid for Geny Catamo | OneFootball

Geny Catamo continues to gain prominence at Sporting, and the best season of the Mozambican international’s career is already sparking strong interest on the international market. With eight goals and four assists in 45 matches, the Sporting winger is on the radar of several clubs, with Como 1907 having already gone as far as making a formal €25 million offer, which was promptly rejected by Sporting’s board.

Besides the club managed by Cesc Fàbregas, Al Ittihad are also closely monitoring the situation of Sporting’s number 10. The club coached by Sérgio Conceição has not yet made any official offer, but Geny Catamo remains very highly rated ahead of the next transfer window.

Despite the growing interest, Sporting’s management has no intention of letting the player leave this summer. After Sporting were looking for figures in the region of €30 million last summer, the winger’s performances in the Champions League sent the Mozambican international’s valuation soaring, meaning that only an offer considered impossible to refuse could change the plans of the structure led by Frederico Varandas.

The interest in the player is nothing new. In January, Lyon and Napoli showed interest in Geny Catamo, although it was Alisson Santos who ultimately moved to the Italian club. That deal promises to bring significant income to Sporting’s coffers after Sporting invested €2.1 million to sign the Brazilian from Vitória SC.

At Alvalade, there is a belief that Geny Catamo can still grow within Rui Borges’ project and take on an even more decisive role in 2026/27. Against Rio Ave, the winger did not come off the bench due to the accumulated fatigue over the course of the season, marked by his participation in AFCON and the high number of matches played for both club and country.
