Interest has emerged from the Premier League this summer in Sporting CP winger and Mozambique international Geny Catamo. Brighton, Aston Villa, Everton, Fulham, and Brentford have all made inquiries about the player. Sunderland are now considered to have an advantage in securing the player, as their sporting director has held talks with the Portuguese club. It is understood that the 25-year-old player, who has 42 caps and 15 goals for his country, is interested in a move to Sunderland. The player has a release clause of just over £51 million, but intermediaries involved in the discussions have indicated that a deal could potentially be completed for approximately €40 million. It is said that negotiations between the clubs are ongoing. Catamo joined Sporting in July 2023, has a contract until 2028, and a current market value of €25 million according to Transfermarkt. Recent reports from August 2026 state that Sporting will only consider offers near the player's €60 million release clause; this follows a rejected €25 million bid from Como in June 2026.
