Aston Villa cooking up bid to land Sporting’s first-team star | OneFootball

Aston Villa has Geny Catamo on their radar and may soon send Sporting an offer for the winger

Aston Villa is one of the main clubs interested in signing Geny Catamo. Although this is not new, only now is the Premier League club preparing to make an official offer for the Mozambican international, especially since Fenerbahçe could also move for the Sporting player.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, the Premier League club has always been well positioned to move forward and lead the race for the new 'number 10' of the green and whites and, apparently, the Sporting management is expecting approaches from England.

During this transfer window, the winger has also been linked to Fiorentina and Como, but no official offer is believed to have reached Sporting’s 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 to 30 million euros for his transfer.

It is worth recalling that Sporting negotiated with Amora and now owns 90% of Geny Catamo's rights, so the club can now sell the Mozambican. The proceeds are expected to 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 spent on the pitch, the left-footer has yet to score or provide an assist.
