Man Utd Prepared to Spend £50M on Portuguese Wonderkid; Edging Out Newcastle, PSG

Portuguese outlet A Bola, as reported by The Manchester Evening News, claims that Manchester United have set aside £50 million to try and secure Quenda from Sporting.

The report claims that United could face competition from Liverpool, who are also interested in the teenager. Both clubs have had scouts watching Quenda this season and have been impressed by his performances.

Liverpool are said to be planning a move for Quenda next summer, so United will need to act quickly to beat their rivals. The winger’s strong relationship with Sporting manager Ruben Amorim could give Manchester United an advantage in the race.

Quenda is under contract with Sporting until 2027, with an £84 million release clause in his deal. While the Portuguese club are reluctant to let him go, they are open to negotiations for a significant fee.
