The latest buzz in the football world is that Manchester United is making moves to secure the talented Geovany Quenda from Sporting. The English club is reportedly preparing a whopping £50 million bid for the 17-year-old wonderkid, who has been making waves since breaking into Sporting's senior squad during pre-season.
Quenda joined Sporting at the young age of 13 and has already made 18 appearances for the club this season. His potential caught the eye of former manager Ruben Amorim, who predicted a bright future for the young winger. However, with Amorim's departure to Old Trafford, Quenda may have been disappointed to see his mentor leave but now it seems like he could follow in his footsteps.
According to reports from A Bola, United's interest in Quenda has intensified after initial discussions with Sporting. The Red Devils are now preparing an offer that could lead to further negotiations and discussions. It is believed that the proposed bid could be worth around €60 million, with additional bonuses based on individual and team performance.
Sporting's hierarchy cannot ignore such a lucrative offer and it seems like Quenda is firmly in United's sights. The Portuguese club may be open to further discussions, especially since the 17-year-old winger has been in impressive form this season. In fact, Quenda signed a contract extension with Sporting in September, extending his stay until 2027 and increasing his release clause from €45 million to €100 million.
However, if a club wants to secure Quenda's services before next summer, they will have to pay his release clause in full, just like with star striker Viktor Gyokeres. Speaking of Gyokeres, he has also been linked with a move to United, especially after Amorim's switch to Manchester. When asked about the possibility of signing Sporting players, Amorim joked that he would try to hold on to them until the summer, hinting that he may consider bringing some of his former players to Old Trafford.
For now, it seems like Manchester United's focus is solely on Quenda and their pursuit of him is only getting stronger. With such a promising young talent on their radar, it will be interesting to see how this story unfolds in the coming months.
