Sporting CP has initiated efforts to secure the long-term futures of its players through contract renewals. The club initially sought to extend the contracts of Geny Catamo and Iván Fresneda until 2031 to protect against interest from major European clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.

Subsequent developments focused on Geny Catamo, with the club preparing to offer a significant extension that would add two years to his current deal and increase his gross annual salary from approximately 1.4 million euros to 2 million euros.
