Gualter Fatia/Getty Images Sporting Lisbon are determined to keep Liverpool target Geny Catamo at the club and are prepared to do everything possible to fend off interest, presenting the Reds with a significant hurdle in their pursuit of the winger. According to Portuguese sports daily A Bola, Sporting Lisbon ‘will do everything to keep’ Catamo.

Having originally arrived to join the club’s academy, the winger has since grown into one of the Portuguese outfit’s most dependable performers. Sporting Lisbon view Catamo as a key man in their project and have no intention of entertaining offers.

Liverpool do, however, have another route should they decide to accelerate their interest, with Catamo’s contract containing a €60m release clause that would remove Sporting Lisbon’s ability to block a transfer. French clubs have also made enquiries, although they are not likely to have the financial firepower to pull off a deal given Sporting Lisbon’s stance.
