Manchester United takes a key step in signing Sporting CP starlet Geovany Quenda, holding a meeting with Jorge Mendes to discuss a potential summer transfer.
Manchester United is pushing ahead with its plans to secure Geovany Quenda, one of Portugal’s most exciting young talents. The English club recently held a meeting with Jorge Mendes, who has become the agent for the 17-year-old winger.
Quenda has caught the attention of several European giants following his standout performances for Sporting CP in the Primeira Liga, where he has already made 20 appearances and scored two goals this season.
Amorim’s connection to Quenda
United manager Rúben Amorim is said to be a driving force behind the pursuit of Quenda. Having previously coached at Sporting, Amorim is well aware of the youngster’s talent and believes he would be a perfect fit for his tactical system at Old Trafford. Quenda’s skill, versatility, and potential make him an ideal signing for United’s future-focused project under Amorim.
Transfer details and Sporting’s stance
Quenda’s contract includes a €50 million release clause, but reports suggest that Sporting CP may be open to negotiating a lower fee, increasing the likelihood of a deal in the upcoming summer transfer window. Mendes, who represents top stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva, reportedly outlined the terms of a possible transfer during the meeting.
The Portuguese winger is seen as one of the next big stars to emerge from Sporting’s famed academy, which has produced legends like Ronaldo, Luís Figo, and Bruno Fernandes. If United manages to close the deal, it could be a significant boost for their long-term plans.
