Frederico Varandas' management has already denied two proposals for Geny Catamo, coming from Fenerbahçe and Aston Villa
Frederico Varandas is not making negotiations for Geny Catamo easy. The President of Sporting does not want to let the Mozambican international leave Alvalade for a song and, therefore, has already turned down some of his suitors - who are a few this off-season -, waiting for some good proposal for all parties.
According to information advanced by the newspaper A Bola, the approaches that arrived at Alvalade for the 'number 10' shirt during the last week, coming from Aston Villa and Fenerbahçe, were around 20 million euros, something that Frederico Varandas' management ended up not accepting.
According to the same source, the emblem trained by José Mourinho put on the table a firm 20M, with the lions promptly denying the offer. The English, on the other hand, would have made a proposal of 18M fixed, plus 2M for objectives, which also did not attract the attention of Sporting.
At this time, the Alvalade Club is waiting for new proposals that, this time, can meet their expectations for Geny. That is, the lions are waiting for values between 25 and 30 million euros and, in case no offer that rounds these values arrives, it is most likely that the left-footer will continue at Sporting.
This season, with the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played four matches, always as a starter. In the 278 minutes he was on the field, the left-footer has not yet managed to score any goal or assist.
