News, goals, and analysis – only on the official A BOLA app. It has been 476 days since Chelsea officially announced the signing of Geovany Quenda from Sporting for around 50 million euros, and now the Portuguese U21 international has finally been presented as a player for the Blues. He is linked to the London club until 2034. After spending the 2025/26 season on loan at the Lions, the 19-year-old winger is now starting his adventure in England, joining the squad managed by Xabi Alonso. Geovany Quenda is a BLUE! 💙 “It’s fantastic to be here. Chelsea is a great club, and I’m excited to play at Stamford Bridge. The club has shown confidence in players like me, and I’m proud to be part of this family. I’m looking forward to working with my teammates and the coach, Xabi Alonso. I’m a very hardworking young player, and I like to help the team. I want to be known for having the right mentality and doing everything to help the club win trophies,” he stated to the official media of the London club. Considered one of the greatest talents in European football, Quenda arrives at Chelsea after two seasons of establishing himself in Sporting’s first team, where he was used both as a winger and a full-back. Along the way, he became the youngest goalscorer in the club’s history, broke the record for the youngest Portuguese player to score in the Champions League, and won the Best Young Player award in the league in 2025. Trained at the Alvalade club, he recorded 86 appearances, 9 goals, and 15 assists for the Lions, where he won two titles: the league and the Portuguese Cup, both in 2024/25. Now, Quenda will have the opportunity to impress Xabi Alonso from day one of training and earn his place in Chelsea’s revamped squad for the 2026/27 season.
