José Mourinho comes clean about interest in Sporting star: Honestly... | OneFootball

José Mourinho appears to have ruled out a possible signing of Geny Catamo for Sporting. The Fenerbahçe coach is set to face Benfica in the second leg of the Champions League play-off and spoke to journalists in a press conference previewing the match.

In addition to questions about the game, José Mourinho was also asked about some market-related topics related to Fenerbahçe. The Turkish team had been linked to a possible interest in Geny Catamo, which José Mourinho denied.

"I don't get involved much in the market. I work with the players I have. As you've noticed, since the last game against Feyenoord until today, we haven't had any more players available to play these two games against Benfica," explained the Portuguese coach, who was once part of Sporting's staff.

José Mourinho continued, with an important clarification: "The two players who were signed were already after the market. If the tie with Benfica was the most important, those two players would have arrived earlier."

"I think Geny Catamo is not on Fenerbahçe's list. Honestly, I don't think there is any list. I think no player will enter now. It's a contradiction. I think there's nothing with Geny," he explained, concluding, the former Champions League winner, appearing to rule out the scenario of a sale from Sporting to Fenerbahçe.
