Chelsea has successfully signed promising Sporting CP winger Geovany Quenda, outbidding Manchester United who struggled financially and could not meet the £50 million fee. The deal allows Quenda to remain with Sporting for the upcoming season while affirming Chelsea's vision for him as a winger rather than a wing-back. His exceptional dribbling skills, physicality, and decision-making drew comparisons to the rising star Lamine Yamal. Experts predict Quenda will soon make a significant impact on Portugal's national team, showcasing his talents on the European stage shortly.
Chelsea have won the race to sign highly-rated Sporting CP youngster Geovany Quenda, beating Manchester United to his signature in a deal that will see him arrive at Stamford Bridge in 2026.
His rapid rise has drawn comparisons to Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. Quenda's trajectory mirrors that of the Spanish prodigy.
He's a very intense player, very committed. But I think his greatest strengths are his decision-making and his ability to play the final ball.
I see similarities with Lamine Yamal. Both of them started playing senior football at 16, 17... Quenda has just been called up by Portugal for the first time.
