Chelsea are on the verge of securing a blockbuster £40 million deal for Sporting Lisbon’s highly-rated winger, Geovany Quenda.
The 17-year-old Portuguese sensation is set to sign a seven-year contract with an option for an additional season, reinforcing the Blues’ long-term attacking plans. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him in action at Stamford Bridge, as he won’t officially join the squad until 2026.
Quenda’s versatility and electrifying dribbling skills make him a perfect fit for Chelsea’s evolving attacking lineup. The Portugal U21 international has already impressed with two goals and eight assists in 43 senior appearances for Sporting, quickly making a name for himself as one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
Previously linked with a move to Manchester United, where he could have reunited with his former coach Ruben Amorim, Quenda has instead chosen to embrace Chelsea’s ambitious project.
With this signing, Chelsea continue their trend of investing in future superstars, adding another promising talent to their ranks. Will Quenda be the next big thing at Stamford Bridge? Only time will tell!
