Manchester United Intensifies Pursuit of Sporting CP’s Geovany Quenda
Manchester United is ramping up efforts to sign Sporting CP’s highly-rated youngster, Geovany Quenda, as reported by Sky Sport CH.
Following a relatively quiet winter transfer window, the Red Devils have already made contact with the 17-year-old’s representatives and are now preparing a formal offer.
Potential Transfer Fee and Negotiations
United is reportedly ready to submit a £25 million bid for the versatile right wing-back. However, Sporting CP is expected to demand a much higher fee, with reports suggesting they could hold out for £40 million or more.
Quenda’s Rising Profile and Tactical Versatility
The teenager made his first-team debut for Sporting earlier this season under former manager Rúben Amorim, who now leads Manchester United. Initially deployed as a right wing-back, he has since transitioned into a left-wing role under current Sporting boss Rui Borges.
Despite the shift in position, Quenda has continued to excel, registering nine goal contributions this season.
Amorim’s Interest in a Reunion
Having introduced Quenda to senior football, Amorim is eager to bring him to Old Trafford. The young prospect is known for his impressive work rate, distribution, and defensive capabilities—attributes that could strengthen United’s wide options.
Negotiation Strategy and Competition
With interest from other clubs, Manchester United may need to improve their initial offer. Including performance-based add-ons could enhance their chances in negotiations as Sporting looks to maximize the transfer value of one of their most promising young talents.
