Chelsea have sealed a deal for one of Portugal’s brightest young talents, Geovany Quenda. The Blues moved swiftly in a secret operation to finalize the transfer of the Sporting CP wonderkid, with the player undergoing and completing his medical in complete secrecy. Quenda is now set to join Chelsea in 2026.

Sources close to the negotiations have confirmed that an agreement between Chelsea and Sporting CP has been finalized, ensuring that the highly-rated attacker will make the switch to Stamford Bridge in two years. The 18-year-old has given his approval to Chelsea’s project and is eager to work under new manager Enzo Maresca, who played a pivotal role in convincing the player of his long-term vision at the club.

Quenda, known for his dazzling dribbling, blistering pace, and eye for goal, has been a standout performer in Sporting’s youth ranks and recently made his first-team breakthrough. European giants had been monitoring his progress, but Chelsea’s proactive approach ensured they won the race for his signature.

Chelsea’s recruitment strategy continues to focus on securing elite young talents, with the club already boasting the likes of Kendry Páez, Estevão Willian, and now Quenda in their future plans.

While the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed, reports suggest that Chelsea were willing to meet Sporting’s valuation to close the deal ahead of competitors. Quenda’s arrival in 2026 will add further quality to an already exciting squad, with the Blues hoping to challenge at the highest level in the coming years.

For now, Quenda will continue his development at Sporting before making his highly anticipated move to the Premier League.
