Manchester United star, Alejandro Garnacho, has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer.
Should the talented Argentine international leave, the Red Devils must use the funds to find a replacement to reinforce the attack.
News – Man Utd agree deal with player, move closer to fee with £29.6million+ offer – Report
If reports in the media are anything to go by then Man Utd are preparing a deal to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea in a swap deal with Garnacho.
As per today’s edition of Sunday World (news image provided below) the record English champions are working on an exchange involving the players in question with the Stamford Bridge outfit.
The media outlet have mentioned that the Blues have slapped an asking fee of £70million on the French international, which might prove to be a stumbling block for Amorim.
However, Man Utd can use Garnacho to strike a swap deal with the London side for the transfer of Nkunku.
It must be remembered that recent reports have indicated that Chelsea want to sign the South American winger.
Nkunku proved his worth in Germany before moving to England but this season, he has mainly been a bench warmer with Chelsea as he has only started three games in the Premier League.
The Les Bleus playmaker only featured for 29 minutes as a sub in last night’s PL defeat against champions, Manchester City, at the Etihad.
In all competitions, Nkunku, who can effectively play in multiple attacking positions, has started 15 games and directly contributed in 17 goals (13 goals and 4 assists).
He needs to leave to play regular first team football and Amorim can hand him the opportunity. The question is, should Man Utd do a swap deal to sign 27-year-old, Nkunku, for 20-year-old, Garnacho?
