Chelsea Finalize Deal for Champions League Winger as Fabrizio Romano Provides Striker Update

Chelsea have secured an out-of-window transfer agreement for a highly promising young winger who is already making an impact at senior level.

The club has prioritized signing emerging talent in recent years, aiming to develop future stars rather than paying premium fees for established players.

While Chelsea have frequently targeted South American prospects, this time they have identified a rising star in Europe.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have reached an agreement to sign Sporting CP winger Geovany Quenda. Despite being just 17 years old, Quenda has already made 26 league appearances for Sporting and featured in 10 Champions League matches this season.

Medical DONE after secret blitz, he will join Chelsea in 2026. Club-to-club agreement completed.”

Quenda’s arrival is set for 2026, with Chelsea allowing him to continue his development at Sporting before making the move to Stamford Bridge.
