Aston Villa showed interest in buying Geny Catamo during the transfer window, reportedly offering around €20 million for the player's economic rights. Sporting was only open to selling for €25-30 million, ideally €25M fixed plus €5M in objectives. The approaches included a salary for Catamo much higher than what he currently earns at Sporting. No deal was reached, and the player stayed at Sporting.

Aston Villa is also advancing for Geny Catamo with an offer structured as 18 million euros plus 2 million euros in bonuses. However, Sporting has indicated that they will not let Catamo go for this offer and are demanding between 25 to 30 million euros.

Aston Villa are continuing to negotiate over Sporting CP winger Geny Catamo. The 24-year-old is available for a fee of €30 million (£25.3 million, $34.3 million).
