Manchester United Eyeing Geovany Quenda Transfer, Could Leave Him at Sporting CP Until Summer
Manchester United are reportedly looking to secure a deal for Sporting CP’s promising youngster Geovany Quenda, with plans to leave him at his current club until the summer.
Since Erik ten Hag’s arrival, United have seen an influx of players with Ajax ties. Now, Ruben Amorim’s appointment has sparked speculation about potential raids on his former club, Sporting CP. Among the names linked to United, striker Viktor Gyökeres has attracted the most attention.
While Amorim has downplayed the idea of reuniting with his former players in January, he hasn’t ruled out pursuing Sporting talents in future transfer windows.
United Move for Quenda
According to Portuguese outlet *A BOLA*, Manchester United are keen to act swiftly to secure Quenda’s signature, aiming to finalize an agreement soon and bring him to Old Trafford after the current season.
The 17-year-old has made a significant impression under Amorim’s tutelage this season, excelling in both right wing-back and right-wing roles. Quenda has already tallied four goal contributions in 18 appearances across all competitions.
His standout performance came during Sporting’s 4-1 triumph over Manchester City in the Champions League, where his composure and versatility earned widespread praise.
Contract and Potential Transfer Fee
Quenda is contracted with Sporting until June 2027 and reportedly has a €100 million release clause. Sporting view him as their next big-money sale, but United plan to test the waters with an initial bid of around €40 million.
Amorim is a known admirer of Quenda and could see him as a key player for United’s right flank. However, it’s worth noting that United have been tracking the youngster’s development even before hiring Amorim as manager.
This potential move underscores United’s commitment to investing in young talent as they seek to bolster their squad under the new regime.
