Geny Catamo, at 22 years old, is finally establishing himself at Sporting, and his excellent performance against Atalanta recently earned him applause from the stands and is justifying a contract renewal. Talks for this renewal are underway, with a salary increase as one of the key points. The Mozambican winger currently receives a considerably low salary on the club's payroll, and that is about to change.
Geny Catamo's contract with Sporting currently runs until June 2025; however, all indications suggest it will be extended for another three years, until 2028. This means the player will remain with the Lions for another four and a half seasons, until the 2027/2028 season. Furthermore, his release clause, currently at €45 million, is also expected to rise to €60 million.
One of the factors that contributed to this decision was Geny Catamo's performance against Atalanta. After a difficult first half, in which Sporting were losing 0-2, coach Rúben Amorim brought on Catamo and Marcus Edwards in attack. The change gave the team new energy, with Catamo even having a chance to equalize.
Statistics from the 2023/2024 season show that Catamo has already played 7 league games, averaging 36 minutes per game. Although he hasn't scored any goals yet, he has contributed 1 assist. His presence in Sporting's main squad and his performance on the field justify the recognition through this contract renewal.
In addition to the renewal, Sporting is working to acquire the remaining 75% of Catamo's transfer rights, which belong to Amora. This demonstrates the club's commitment to the player's development. Geny Catamo arrived at Sporting in 2020 and has since shown remarkable progress, having gone on loan to clubs such as V. Guimarães and Marítimo.
