Geovany Quenda has agreed to join Chelsea, with the West London club letting the 17-year-old Portuguese wonderkid remain at Sporting CP for another season.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Geovany Quenda will be the latest highly-rated wonderkid to reinforce the first-team squad at Chelsea. The Blues have secured an agreement to sign the Sporting CP wonderkid, with the teenage sensation already undergoing his medical. The Portuguese prodigy will remain at the Primeira Liga club for another season before arriving at Stamford Bridge next year.
The rapid rise of Geovany Quenda
Geovany Quenda is the latest highly-rated sensation to rise in prominence in Portugal. A native of Bissau, the teenage whizkid spent his formative years in Portugal, passing through the academies at SF Damaiense Formacao and SL Benfica before graduating from the youth division at Sporting CP.
The 17-year-old broke into the first-team squad at Sporting CP at the onset of the 2024/25 season, and he has quickly become a regular on the right flank for the Primeira Liga champions. Quenda has turned out nearly 50 times thus far for the senior side while chipping in with two goals and eight assists.
Meanwhile, the Portuguese prodigy’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Manchester United seemed to be closing in on signing the Sporting CP wonderkid. However, the Red Devils have lost the race to secure his services, with Chelsea sealing the agreement to land him.
London calling
Chelsea’s interest in Geovany Quenda is surprising. While Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, and Pedro Neto have blown hot and cold, the West London club will soon see Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez arriving at Stamford Bridge. So, it is unclear how the Sporting CP wonderkid will fit into the scheme of things.
Nevertheless, the Portuguese prodigy is essentially a Chelsea player, with the West London outfit and Sporting CP sealing an agreement over a deal for the youngster. In addition, Quenda has undergone his medical after a “secret blitz” by Chelsea.
Enzo Maresca’s plans appealed to the highly-rated wide player, with Chelsea’s project also turning his head. The 17-year-old will remain at Sporting CP for another season before arriving at Stamford Bridge on July 1, 2026.
