This is a new blow for Ruben Amorim, the Manchester United coach. He hoped to attract this summer the player he had launched a few months ago when he successfully trained Sporting CP in Portugal, the young Geovany Quenda, 17 years old. It was he who offered him his first minutes in pro, and it clearly suggested that Manchester United would have an advantage over competition during the summer transfer window.
But that was without counting on Chelsea. As revealed by The AthleticChelsea reached an agreement with the Portuguese club for the transfer of the winger, for an estimated sum between 45 and 50 M €. But above all, he will leave Quanda to Sporting next season, in the form of a loan, and will recover it for the 2026-2027 season. Quenda signed a contract until 2033 with the Blues!
Chelsea pursues its recruitment policy
A first thunderclap on the transfer market, which proves that the London club has not abandoned its strategy, even if it means accumulating players. Despite a workforce that already has more than 50 players by integrating the elements sent on loan, Chelsea still activates on the promises of world football, and Quenda is one. Quenda is one, the left -hander that Morim used in piston and which can evolve on the two wings.
Chelsea would like to use it in a pure winger, and it is one of the arguments that would have hit the bull's eye. Quenda will be able to continue to grow serenely one more year on the side of Lisbon, and he will be 19 years old when he is led to rally London. It remains to be seen how many other wingers will then be in the Chelsea workforce.
