LONDON: Chelsea have reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon to sign Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo in deals worth 74.4 million euros, the Portuguese club said on Thursday.
The English Premier League club has agreed to pay up to 52 million euros for Quenda, 17, who has also attracted interest from Manchester United because he was coached by Ruben Amorim while at Sporting.
The Guinea-Bissau winger, who turns 18 in April, will join Chelsea next year.
The 20-year-old Essugo, currently on loan at La Liga club Las Palmas, will move to Stamford Bridge for 22.2 million euros.
The Portuguese became Sporting’s youngest ever player, making his professional debut in 2021 aged 16.
