This summer, Chelsea spent £44 million to bring Quenda from Sporting Lisbon to Stamford Bridge. However, the London team decided to loan this 17-year-old talent to Sporting in the 2025 - 2026 season.
Geovany Quenda has proven his potential. The Chelsea player currently has 5 goals after 7 appearances for Sporting. Most impressive was the goal and assist in the 4-1 win over Kairat Almaty in the Champions League.
Legend Thierry Henry could not hide his admiration for Quenda. He told CBS: This guy is special. I watched him play in the U21 European Championship. I like the way he works. He was not afraid, something everyone thought he would be at that age.
But there is something special about him. I just hope he can do that for a long time. You can understand how he celebrates or throws a shirt. Hopefully that will be the beginning of a long story.
However, the road at Chelsea is not easy. Under Enzo Maresca, Quenda are expected to compete fiercely in attack with Estevao Willian, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens.
Previously, former Portuguese international Naini also regretted that M.U could not get Quenda: "There is no player like him at the age of 17. Why did Chelsea sign him? Because they know that.
It is difficult to have the type of player who can play fiercely, lead the game and create danger in the penalty area. Man United should have been more determined.
