According to a report by Daily Star, Alejandro Garnacho is the subject of interest from Chelsea. The Blues are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit in the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Manchester United whizkid. Meanwhile, the Argentine international is ready to part ways with the Red Devils, and they will demand £65 million to sell him.
Alejandro Garnacho has been one of the best young prospects in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United. The Madrid-born winger spent most of his formative years in Spain but graduated from the youth division at Manchester United a few years ago.
The 20-year-old has come leaps and bounds in the last few years, even though he has been prone to bouts of inconsistency. Nevertheless, Garnacho has managed an impressive tally of 11 goals and 10 assists in 54 appearances across all competitions.
However, Garnacho’s long-term future at Old Trafford is uncertain amid the Premier League club’s financial issues. With Manchester United eager to comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules, their ideal avenue might be to cash in on the Argentine international. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Chelsea.
Chelsea mulled over signing Alejandro Garnacho in the winter transfer window before the deal failed to see the light of day. The continued interest is understandable, considering Jadon Sancho and Noni Madueke face an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. In addition, Mykhailo Mudryk may not play again for Chelsea after failing a doping test a few months ago.
So, Chelsea must dip into the market for a wide attacker, with Garnacho emerging as a viable target. The Madrid-born winger has boosted the West London club’s prospects, as he is open to parting ways with Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will demand around £65 million to part ways with the Argentine international. With Napoli also keen on signing the 20-year-old, it will not be surprising to see the struggling Premier League giants recouping £65 million from his sale in the summer transfer window.
