Sporting are bracing for strong interest in Geny Catamo and Maxi Araújo in the summer transfer window, but the club’s board has a very clear stance: only very favorable offers could lead to the departure of either winger. The priority is to keep both at Alvalade.
, especially in the Champions League. Interest is significant, with several clubs keeping a close eye on them, including sides from the Premier League and Serie A. Even so, the Lions remain calm and will only consider negotiating if an offer deemed impossible to refuse comes in.
Internally, the figure mentioned for a possible transfer of the Uruguayan is around €60 million, about €20 million below the release clause set at €80 million. Below that level, the board’s intention is clear: keep the winger for at least one more season.
In the case of Geny Catamo, the situation is similar, although with slightly lower figures. The Mozambique international is under contract until 2029 and is also attracting interest, especially from Italian clubs. A possible departure will only be considered if a financially significant offer is made.
Despite being open to analyzing offers, Sporting do not intend to negotiate below high valuations. If no convincing offer arrives, Geny Catamo staying on is seen as a natural outcome, as the player is considered important in sporting terms.
