Decided: Sporting set to tie down the new Geovany Quenda | OneFootball

Chris Grombahi is very close to renewing his contract with Sporting. The Portuguese-Ivorian winger, who turned 18 this Thursday, is one of the promising talents from the club’s academy and is expected to extend his deal with the green and whites until 2031.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the process has entered its final stage and should be made official in the coming weeks. His current contract runs until 2027, but the club’s structure wants to secure the continued presence of a player they believe has the potential to become a regular in the first team.

Grombahi has represented Sporting since 2017/18, when he arrived from Alta de Lisboa for the under-10s. He progressed through the various levels of the Academy and made his first-team debut on 28 October 2025, in the 5-1 win over Alverca in the League Cup.

In the second half of last season, he was loaned to Club Brugge, but two injuries limited his experience in Belgium to just two matches for the reserve team. The Belgians did not trigger the €2 million buy option, although they still tried to negotiate a transfer for a lower fee.

Back at Alvalade, Chris Grombahi is now part of the B team coached by Tiago Fernandes, while also remaining available to Rui Borges whenever needed. Before the loan move, he played six matches for the under-19s and 15 for the under-23s, where he scored five goals, and also made his senior debut.
