Quenda 2 done! Sporting tie down dribbler until 2031, €80m clause | OneFootball

It is virtually a done deal: Chris Grombahi is very close to renewing his contract with Sporting. The young winger, one of the gems developed in Alcochete and already nicknamed “Quenda 2,” is expected to remain tied to the Lions until June 2031.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the process is practically complete and also includes a release clause set at €80 million. The board led by Frederico Varandas thus intends to ward off potential suitors and protect one of the assets it believes in most for the future.

Grombahi’s talent has never been in doubt within Sporting’s structure, but last season was marked by physical setbacks. The winger was loaned to Club Brugge and came very close to staying in Belgium on a permanent deal, but two injuries ended up preventing that scenario.

The Belgian club had a purchase option on the player, but decided not to exercise it due to the physical problems recorded during the loan spell. Grombahi therefore returned to Sporting, where he was once again seen as a player with great potential.

Having overcome his physical limitations, Sporting’s officials remain fully confident in the youngster’s development, although they have already given him a warning. The renewal comes precisely as a sign of that commitment, at a time when his current deal expires at the end of the season.
