"Chelsea have been able to welcome their summer signing from Sporting CP ahead of schedule, but the early union isn't the result of happy circumstances. The Blues confirmed the signing of Portuguese winger Geovany Quenda from Sporting in March 2025, with the 18-year-old slated to leave the Lisbon club for London in the summer of this year. But the teenager has been spending time at Chelsea's Cobham training centre before the move, according to BBC Sport reporter Nizaar Kinsella."
"Chelsea agreed a reported 45 million move for Quenda last year on the back of an impressive showing at the Under-17 European Championship in 2024, which he followed up with another eye-catching contribution to the Under-21 European Championship the following year. Billed as Chelsea's answer to Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, Quenda has unfinished business in Portugal before his permanent switch to the Blues' Surrey base."
Geovany Quenda signed for Chelsea in March 2025 and is due to join the club permanently in the summer. The 18-year-old is recovering from a fractured metatarsal sustained in December and has been using Chelsea's Cobham training centre and medical facilities during rehabilitation. The move followed strong performances at the Under-17 European Championship in 2024 and the Under-21 European Championship in 2025. Chelsea reportedly agreed a £45 million fee. Quenda is expected to return to action in March, while Sporting remain competitive in the Portuguese league and face Porto on March 3.
