Sporting have confirmed an agreement with Chelsea for the transfers of Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo.
Chelsea could pay up to £41.9m for Quenda, who turns 18 in April, after moving swiftly to secure the future of the winger, who was attracting interest from Manchester United.
Quenda broke into the Sporting first team under United boss Ruben Amorim this season and will stay with the Portuguese club until 2026.
Essugo, a 20-year-old defensive midfielder currently on loan with Las Palmas in LaLiga, is set to cost £18.5m. He will join Chelsea this summer.

Quenda, who has played as a winger and wing-back for Sporting, is expected to sign a seven-year deal with an option for an additional 12 months and has already passed his medical.
The teenager is understood to have chosen Chelsea amid interest from a number of other clubs and liked the fact they wanted to give him time to mature and grow as a player.
Essugo has also already had his medical and it is understood Chelsea view him as a ball winner that will get regular minutes under Enzo Maresca and add depth to their squad.
He became Sporting’s youngest player when he made his first-team debut a week after turning 16 in 2021.
