Liverpool have a knack for finding rising stars who can electrify Anfield.
The Reds’ recent successes in scouting young talent have given fans plenty to cheer about.
With January approaching, Liverpool are once again looking to add spark to their attacking arsenal.
With news already around their pursuit of players like Martin Zubimendi and Milos Kerkez, the Reds don’t seem to be slowing down.
But this time, their focus is on a player who has already caused a stir across Europe despite his tender age.
This teenager has set records, earned accolades, and drawn comparisons to some of the biggest names in football.
He’s fast, versatile, and fearless on the pitch?
And now, he’s in Liverpool’s sights.
Liverpool interested in Sporting CP winger
The player catching Liverpool’s attention is Geovany Quenda, as per reports from TeamTalk.
According to the news outlet, “Liverpool are poised to join Manchester United in discussing a potential move for Sporting CP starlet.”
At just 17, Quenda has already made waves in Portugal and beyond.
He became Sporting’s youngest-ever goalscorer with a goal against Porto in August 2024, surpassing legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Simão.
Just weeks later, he became the youngest Portuguese player to start a Champions League match in Sporting’s win over Lille.
Quenda is versatile, operating as a right winger or wing-back, which could fit perfectly into Liverpool’s tactical plans.
The teenager has also shone internationally.
His performances at the UEFA European Under-17 Championship earned him a spot in the Team of the Tournament.
Recently, he impressed with Portugal’s Under-21s, registering an assist in a win over Andorra.
Liverpool are one of several elite clubs interested in the starlet.
Geovany Quenda’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is already scheduling meetings to decide the player’s future.
“United confirmed their great appreciation for the wide man,” reports suggest, but Liverpool are determined to make their case.
With a flair for nurturing young talent, the Reds could be the perfect destination for Quenda as events unfold.
