The Argentinian is expected to be available for significantly less than the £70million that United wanted for him, especially after finding himself marginalised by manager Ruben Amorim. Garnacho has been informed that he has no future at United and is keen on the switch to Stamford Bridge this summer. Chelsea’s hierarchy have no concerns over his character after doing their homework. In total Garnacho has played 144 games for United and has scored 26 goals, while he has provided 22 assists. He won the FA Cup with United in the 2023-24 campaign and the EFL Cup in the previous season. Chelsea have opened initial talks with Manchester United over Alejandro Garnacho Enzo Maresca's side are mulling a move for a player out of favour with coach Ruben Amorim The Blues have already brought in a left winger this summer in Jamie Gittens for £48. 5m from Borussia Dortmund, as well as a right winger in Estevao Willian, the Brazilian wonderkid from Palmeiras.

United are on the verge of signing Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig for £74. 1m.
