Liverpool are keen on signing Quenda as they view him as a player who could become a superstar in the future. However, Quenda has a €100m release clause in his contract which is considered too high, and Sporting are very reluctant to allow him to leave. The transfer cannot happen before the summer transfer window as Quenda is still only 17 and his suitors will have to wait until April to sign him.

Liverpool reportedly joined Manchester United and Manchester City in scouting Geovany Quenda during Sporting's recent Champions League win against Sturm Graz.
