Over €70 million! Sporting star among the world’s most valuable players | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda continues to break barriers and surprise market analysts. According to the latest list from the Football Observatory (CIES) on the market value of professional players, the young talent trained at Sporting secured a place among the 100 most valuable footballers of today.

The star, only 18 years old, is in 78th place with a market value of 70.1 million euros. He is ahead of Rodrigo Mora from Porto, who is in the lower positions, in 94th place, with a valuation of 64.1 million.

In this group of 100 athletes, Nuno Mendes also stands out, who represented Sporting between 2019 and 2021 and is currently one of the best players in the world, valued at 85.5 million euros, ranking 44th. This list is led by Lamine Yamal from Barcelona, with an astronomical value of 343 million.

This exponential growth of Geovany Quenda reflects not only the sporting performance of the winger at Sporting but also the impact of his transfer to Chelsea. Although he continues to defend the colors of the Lisbon club, the financial operation that sealed his move to London, valued at around 50 million euros fixed, potentially reaching higher values based on objectives, catapulted his valuation to elite levels.

The Sporting gem, in the current season, was standing out in Rui Borges' team, with five goals and eight assists in a total of 22 games played. However, the athlete has not played since early December due to a foot fracture, which he has already undergone surgery for, and is one of several players unavailable at this time.
