Geovany Tcherno Quenda, a 17-year-old football prodigy of Bissau-Guinean descent, has rapidly ascended in European football, drawing attention from elite clubs across the continent.
Quenda’s versatility allows him to operate effectively as both a right winger and right wing-back.
His dynamic performances have not gone unnoticed, Manchester United are yet to reach an agreement for the youngster, despite initial reports. Sporting CP are reportedly holding out for a transfer fee of £50 million.
The interest in Quenda is not limited to Manchester United. European heavyweights such as Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and Manchester City are also monitoring his development closely.
Barcelona, in particular, has initiated preliminary discussions with Quenda’s agent, Jorge Mendes, signaling their intent to secure his services.
This season, he has accumulated nine goal contributions in 42 appearances.
Notably, he became the youngest Portuguese player to feature in a UEFA Champions League match, surpassing records previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Internationally, Quenda has represented Portugal at the under-17 and under-21 levels.
