Ruben Amorim handed Quenda his debut at Sporting and also the young adult came to be a means element of his side in the past Amorim escaped for United in November, playing as a proper wing-back in the Portuguese head consultant’s 3-4-3 product.
It was opined that it was merely a obstacle of time in the past Quenda joined Amorim at Ratty Trafford, through a record in January asserting the Red Spirits owned currently ‘flicked upwards’ the 17-year-old ahead of a summer season slide.
David Ornstein of The Sports messed around down those rumours by insisting zero ‘official lug out’ owned been channelled out by United, but in February it was channelled out think that Quenda owned ‘verbally agreed’ to rejoin through Amorim.
Every little thing was suggesting in the direction of a slide to Manchester United, but Romano disclosed the bombshell elucidation that they owned been gazumped by Chelsea in the early hours of Friday morning.
He wrote on X: ‘BREAKING: Chelsea concur decision for Portuguese apex talent Geovany Quenda, below we go! Medical DONE for Quenda after mystery burden, he will conceivably indicator upwards through Chelsea in 2026.

“There is a indispensable time,” said Romano on his YouTube avenue. “Geovany Quenda will conceivably indicator upwards through Chelsea in the summer season of 2026, so not presently (ethical summer season), but letting the gamer remain at Sporting for one nonessential period.
“This is a indispensable express in the conversations nightclub to nightclub, because Man Utd ached Quenda to indicator upwards through the nightclub peremptorily.

“Chelsea currently have unlike players in those poses, and also so they are willing to welcome Sporting’s flaw – enable [Sporting] have the gamer for one nonessential period in order to obviate unlike other clubs and also indicator Geovany Quenda.”
It’s channelled out think a seven-year decision upwards until 2033 has been agreed through the substitute of a further year.
United and also Amorim’s hunch was to emit the escaped-footer at proper wing-back, on the dissimilar side to January finalizing Patrick Dorgu, but Enzo Maresca (if he’s not reconditioned by Carlo Ancelotti or someone else by after that) will conceivably appearance to play Quenda in a nonessential proceeded semblance on the wing.
