Geovany Quenda favoured a move to Chelsea<\/a> ahead of Manchester United<\/a> due to his desire to play as a winger, according to reports.<\/p>\n

It’s understood that Chelsea have clinched a deal to sign Quenda from Sporting CP<\/a> in a deal that could be worth up to \u20ac50 million (\u00a342.1m) with add-ons.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, Quenda will move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n

Quenda signed his first professional contract with Sporting in August 2023 and was given his first-team debut by\u00a0Ruben Amorim<\/a>\u00a0the following year.<\/p>\n

After Amorim’s switch to Old Trafford last November, United were quickly linked with a move for Quenda and reports in Portugal claimed in January that the club had reached their own \u20ac60m (\u00a350.1m) agreement with Sporting for the 17-year-old<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, United have now lost out to Chelsea with Amorim forced to look at alternative options to bolster his attack.<\/p>\n

According to The i Paper<\/a>, a key factor behind Quenda’s decision to join Chelsea over United is his desire to play as a winger, rather than as a wing-back in Amorim’s system.<\/p>\n

The report also adds that Chelsea are also considering the prospect of paying a penalty fee so that Jadon Sancho can return to United in the summer<\/p>\n

Sancho joined Chelsea on loan at the end of the transfer window last summer<\/a> but has struggled for consistency under Enzo Maresca this season.<\/p>\n

Chelsea currently have an obligation to buy Sancho for \u00a325m if they finish 14th or higher in the Premier League this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Chelsea are able to avoid signing Sancho on a permanent deal if they pay a ‘significant fee’ to United.<\/p>\n

It’s understood that United have no plans to reintegrate Sancho, who they signed from Borussia Dortmund for \u00a372.9m in 2021<\/a>, and will look to sell the 24-year-old this summer if he returns from Chelsea.<\/p>\n
