Fenerbahçe may go after Geny Catamo from Sporting after failing to sign Akturkoglu from Benfica

José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe is interested in signing Geny Catamo. The Portuguese coach appreciates the qualities of the Mozambican international and, if the Turkish club fails to sign Akturkoglu from Benfica, the Sporting player will become an option.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, the fact that negotiations with the Eagles have not made any progress could indeed open the possibility for the Turks to inquire with Sporting about the conditions to negotiate for the new 'number 10', who could become the main option for the team led by the Portuguese coach.

Furthermore, the same source admits that this is not the first time Geny Catamo has been on Fenerbahçe's radar. In addition, the name of Rui Borges' starter is really next on Mourinho's list, with a proposal possibly "just hours away" from arriving at Alvalade.

Still during this transfer window, the winger has already been linked to Fiorentina and Como, but no official offer is said to have reached the green and white offices. Sporting, for its part, is not willing to block the player's departure, but is asking for a fee in the region of 25/30 million euros for his transfer.

It is worth remembering that Sporting negotiated with Amora and now owns 90% of Geny Catamo's rights, meaning they can now sell the Mozambican. The amount should go directly towards signing a left winger, with Yeremay Hernández being the main priority.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played three matches, always as a starter. In the 200 minutes he has been on the pitch, the left-footer has yet to score or provide an assist.
