Chelsea’s strategy of snapping up the best young talent in Europe and beyond shows no signs of slowing down, following reports that they are set to secure the double signing of Sporting CP duo

Jorge Mendes, who engineered the Leny Yoro and Manuel Ugarte deals to United, was the intermediary on Quenda, alongside agent Igor Campedelli. To this end, United sources, kept anonymous to protect relationships, have said they are relaxed over the turn of events.

According to The Athletic, Manchester United held 'extensive' talks with Sporting CP back in January over the potential signing of Geovany Quenda, and all signs were pointing to a summer move being agreed by the end of the winter transfer window.
