adminA quiet summer at the Stadium of Light could be about to heat up, as Sunderland set their sights on Geny Catamo in a bid to add just their second signing of the window.
With speculation mounting that Simon Adingra may be on his way out, it’s little surprise that the Sporting CP winger has emerged as a target.
In a single move, Sunderland could swap a player who often struggled to cement a place in Régis Le Bris’s preferred lineup for someone capable of anchoring the attack—a signing that would suit a side with Europa League ambitions.
It’s a move that feels long overdue. While the club can take pride in holding onto their key players this summer, they need to step up their incoming business before the window closes.
That doesn’t mean a repeat of last year’s overhaul, but there’s certainly room to add quality like Catamo at this stage.
Sunderland in talks to sign Geny Catamo
According to the Sunderland Echo, the Black Cats are now in negotiations with Sporting over a deal for Catamo.
While discussions continue, Sunderland are hopeful of securing a fee below his €60 million (£51 million) release clause, though that option remains available if necessary.
At just 25, Catamo offers flexibility across both wings and as a wing-back—versatility that will be invaluable in European competition.
Alongside talents like Brian Brobbey, he has the potential to make a real impact in the Premier League. With talks progressing, those on Wearside will be eager for a breakthrough.
Sunderland make Wilson Isidor decision
Earlier in the summer, Granit Xhaka was the subject of exit rumours; now Wilson Isidor finds himself in the spotlight.
But like Xhaka, the forward is not for sale. Following interest from West Ham United, Sunderland have firmly communicated that Isidor is staying put as they look to retain their backup striker.
For Isidor, the prospect of European football could mean more opportunities to feature, particularly after netting six Premier League goals last season.
