Chelsea have confirmed the double signing of Sporting Lisbon midfielders Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo for a combined fee of approximately £62.4 million, according to the Portuguese club.
Seventeen-year-old winger Quenda will cost Chelsea up to £44 million but will remain at Sporting until the end of the 2025-26 season. The highly-rated teenager broke into the first team this campaign and made his Champions League debut in September.
Dario Essugo, a 20-year-old defensive midfielder, will make the switch to Stamford Bridge this summer after a loan spell with La Liga side Las Palmas. Sporting confirmed his transfer fee as £18.4 million. While Essugo has impressed in Spain, he has also been sent off twice in his last four appearances.
Essugo could feature for Chelsea at the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup in the United States this summer, while fans will have to wait to see Quenda in action.
The Portuguese duo are the latest additions to Chelsea’s growing pool of young talent. The Blues have also secured deals for two other 17-year-olds — Brazil’s Estevao Willian and Ecuador’s Kendry Paez — who will both join the club in the summer.
