Aston Villa and Fulham will reportedly compete with three other clubs to sign 23-year-old Mozambican winger Geny Catamo from Sporting CP.
According to a report by O Jogo, as relayed by Sport Witness, Geny Catamo might find a new home in the Premier League this year. Aston Villa and Fulham are in a five-way battle to sign the 23-year-old winger from Sporting CP. In addition, three other clubs — Genoa, Udinese, and Wolverhampton Wanderers — are keen on landing him from the Portuguese club.
Who is Geny Catamo?
Geny Catamo has been a solid performer since breaking into the first-team squad at Sporting CP. A native of Maputo, the African winger spent his formative years in Mozambique and graduated from the youth division at Associação Black Bulls. Sporting CP came calling in July 2019, and he has come leaps and bounds in the last half a decade.
The 23-year-old broke into the first-team squad at Sporting CP in the 2021/22 season but has been a regular for the Portuguese club since the 2023/24 campaign. Catamo’s productivity has improved this term, with the youngster chipping in with four goals and four assists in 29 outings across all competitions thus far.
Meanwhile, Catamo’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards for the Mozambican international, with Aston Villa and Fulham vying for his signature.
Premier League adventure beckoning?
Aston Villa’s interest in Geny Catamo is somewhat surprising. The Villans have already bolstered their offensive unit this month by landing Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund. So, it is unclear how the Sporting CP wide player might fit into the scheme of things. Nevertheless, Aston Villa might look to sign the young winger from the Portuguese club.
As for Fulham, Marco Silva can use more productivity from his wide attackers, compelling the West London club to scour the market for a new forward. So, several wingers, including Ernest Nuamah, have emerged on Fulham’s radar, with Catamo also a viable target.
However, Aston Villa and Fulham face stiff competition from Genoa, Udinese, and Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 23-year-old Mozambican winger. It will be interesting to see if the youngster leaves Sporting CP in the winter transfer window to embark on an adventure in the Premier League.
