Aston Villa will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old Mozambican winger Geny Catamo from Portuguese club Sporting CP in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by A Bola, as relayed by Sport Witness, Geny Catamo is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the Sporting CP winger has emerged as a target for the West Midlands outfit.
The rising Premier League giants have advanced their move for Catamo, and they are preparing a bid worth €20 million to sign him from Sporting CP in the summer transfer window. However, the Portuguese club will demand around €25-30 million to part ways with the Maputo native. So, Aston Villa may have to submit an improved proposal to secure his services.
Geny Catamo and his time at Sporting CP so far
Geny Catamo has made considerable progress since breaking into the first-team squad at Sporting CP. The 24-year-old spent most of his formative years in his homeland but turned professional in Portugal. However, the player had to wait until the 2023/24 season to enjoy his breakthrough at the Portuguese club.
The Mozambique international has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Sporting CP while chipping in with 13 goals and ten assists. Meanwhile, Catamo’s progress at the Portuguese club has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Aston Villa will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Geny Catamo has been on Aston Villa’s radar for a long time. The continued interest in the Sporting CP winger makes sense, as the Villans are eager to add more quality to their offensive unit after struggling in their first two games of the 2025/26 season. Additionally, Leon Bailey has joined AS Roma on a season-long loan deal this month.
Several candidates have emerged on Aston Villa’s radar, with Catamo also a viable target. The Villans are advancing their move to sign the African winger after preparing a bid worth €20 million to sign him from Sporting CP in the summer transfer window. However, the Portuguese outfit will demand around €25-30 million to part ways with the player.
Sporting CP would be happy to recoup a base fee worth €25 million to sell the 24-year-old Mozambican winger. So, it will be interesting to see if Aston Villa will be ready to fork out €20 million to sign Catamo from the Portuguese club in the final days of the summer transfer window.
