Geny Catamo’s Sporting exit could hinge on… Akturkoglu | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe is looking at Geny Catamo, a Sporting player, as a 'plan B' this summer, in case the signing of Akturkoglu to Benfica doesn't move forward

Tired of negotiating Akturkoglu with Benfica, Fenerbahçe sees Geny Catamo as the 'plan B' for this transfer market. José Mourinho is a fan of the Sporting player, who may become a real option for the Turks if the signing of the Eagles player doesn't advance.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, the fact that negotiations with the Reds have not made any progress may even mean an opening to the possibility of the Turks asking the Lions about the conditions for negotiating the new 'number 10', who may become the main option for the team led by the Portuguese coach.

Moreover, the same source admits that this is not the first time Geny Catamo has been mentioned by Fenerbahçe. Furthermore, the name of Rui Borges' starter is indeed the next on Mourinho's list, with a proposal that could "be hours" away from arriving at Alvalade.

Still, during this transfer market, the winger has already been linked to Fiorentina and Como, but no official proposal has arrived at the green and white offices. Sporting, in turn, is not willing to prevent the player's departure, but is asking for a value in the order of 25/30 million euros for his signing.

It's worth remembering that Sporting negotiated with Amora and now holds 90% of Geny Catamo's pass, so they can already sell the Mozambican. The value should revert directly to the signing of a left winger, with Yeremay Hernández being the main priority.

This season, with Sporting's jersey, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played three games, always as a starter. In the 200 minutes he's been on the field, the lefty still hasn't scored any goals or assists.
