Chelsea have signed 17-year-old Sporting CP winger Geovany Quenda for around £40m, beating Manchester United to his signature. The highly-rated talent will remain in Portugal until 2026 before joining Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s aggressive youth recruitment strategy continues with the signing of Geovany Quenda, one of Europe’s brightest young talents. The 17-year-old winger, who has already broken multiple records at Sporting, will stay in Portugal until 2026 to continue his development. Chelsea moved quickly to finalise the deal and avoid a potential bidding war in the summer, securing Quenda for half of his release clause. With uncertainty surrounding several Chelsea wingers, including Mykhailo Mudryk and Jadon Sancho, Quenda could play a key role in Chelsea’s future attacking plans.
