That is according to the very reliable Fabrizio Romano. Further, a number of top outlets in England have also confirmed the information.
Value (4/5): Reasonable fee for immense potential
Chelsea are understood to be paying Sporting a fee in the region of £40million for their sensational winger, who has made waves in Portugal and across Europe by showing glimpses of his immense potential. Considering the hype, it doesn't appear to be a massive commitment for the Blues.
Suitability (3.5/5): Pace and power
The Portuguese has impressed with his explosive pace and power in and out of possession. Further, he has a brilliant tendency to relentlessly take on his opponents. In his breakthrough season, the youngster has managed two goals and eight assists in all competitions so far.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): One for the future
The fact Chelsea have agreed to bring him to London in 2026 suggests they don't have an immediate place in Enzo Maresca's plans for the talent. However, they are looking to beat the competition and secure one of the most promising wingers in Europe for the future.
Logic (4/5): Player snubs United
According to multiple reports, Quenda was also on Manchester United's radar, and Amorim, who used him as a wing-back, was keen on a reunion in Manchester. But it seems the player and his representatives have now given the green light to join Chelsea's project.
Whisper+ verdict: 19.5/25
With Quenda's medical done, the only thing that's left now is an official announcement from Chelsea.
