adminSunderland given hope of signing Catamo for just £34m despite £51m release clause
Sunderland have received a potential boost in their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon’s versatile wide player Geny Catamo, who could now be available for around £34 million.
The 25-year-old, comfortable operating as either a right winger or right-back, has impressed in Portugal’s top division and appears well-suited to bolster Régis Le Bris’ squad.
The Black Cats have been linked with the Mozambique international for some time, and their hopes have been lifted by reports suggesting the fee may be significantly lower than initially anticipated.
According to TEAMtalk, Sunderland might secure Catamo for approximately £34 million, a considerable reduction from the £51 million release clause written into his Sporting contract.
Sunderland ready to invest big in Catamo deal
While £34 million remains a substantial outlay, it would represent shrewd business if Sunderland can negotiate that price.
The move underscores the club’s ambition, particularly for a side that only returned to the Premier League last season.
Under Le Bris, Sunderland exceeded expectations by qualifying for European competition this term, which should enable them to continue investing heavily in high-calibre recruits as they look to strengthen the squad further.
