Sporting CP winger Geovany Quenda has been linked with Premier League clubs of late, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United keen.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United are keen on 17-year-old Portuguese wonderkid Geovany Quenda. However, the Premier League trio will have to pay around €100 million to get the deal done.
Quenda is a prodigious talent with a bright future, but he has done nothing to justify the price tag. It is highly unlikely that any club would be willing to pay that kind of money for him. He might develop into a future star, but Sporting CP will have to be more reasonable with the demands to get the deal done.
It is no secret that Liverpool need to add more quality in the wide areas, and Quenda would be a quality long-term investment for them. However, they need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and paying €100 million for the Portuguese winger is simply impossible for them. It will be interesting to see if Sporting CP are willing to lower their demands.
Manchester City and Manchester United keen on Quenda
Manchester City need more quality and depth on the flanks as well and have set their sights on Geovany Quenda. Jack Grealish has been underwhelming for City, and they will need to be replaced. The 17-year-old could be a future prospect for the defending champions.
Manchester City are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the resources to pay the reported asking price as well. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay a premium to get the deal done. Meanwhile, Manchester United need to replace players like Antony, who have failed to make their mark in the Premier League yet.
The Brazilian international has been a major flop since his arrival from Ajax, and Quenda could be a quality alternative. Newly-appointed Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim knows the player well as well, having worked with him and his presence at the helm could help Manchester United get the deal done. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
