Premier League club shows interest in the Alvalade Club and continues to focus attention on a situation within the green and white squad

Exclusive Leonino confirmed! Premier League club has invested interest in Sporting and continues to focus attention on Alvalade

Chelsea remains attentive to the development of Geovany Quenda's situation at Sporting. The Premier League club initiated talks with Sporting during the last 2024/25 season and ended up closing a deal even before the transfer window opened.

The Blues were so pleased with what they saw in the first half of the 2024/25 season - Quenda's first in the main team of the Lions - that they decided to spend more than 50 million euros to secure the young player's services in February, agreeing to leave him at Alvalade in 2025/26, with the aim of continuing to accumulate regular playing time.

Given Chelsea's significant investment, the Blues are keeping a close eye on Alvalade, monitoring games, training sessions, and performance reports of the young player trained at the Alcochete Academy, according to the newspaper Record. The goal is to stay constantly updated on Geovany Quenda's physical condition.

As Leonino had already reported exclusively, Chelsea, however, is not pleased with the lack of playing time for the young Portuguese player. There is no restriction regarding the playing time he can have on the field, so the decision must be entirely linked to a technical choice by Rui Borges.

The coach from Mirandela has preferred Geny Catamo, who has started in all the championship matches so far. Geovany Quenda is willing to fight to change the situation, and earn a spot in Sporting's starting eleven that was once his, notably with Ruben Amorim and also João Pereira.
