Chelsea take first step towards Alejandro Garnacho transfer as Man United demand £60m
Today at 12:06 PM
Chelsea are ready to open talks with Manchester United over a potential move for Alejandro Garnacho, talkSPORT understands.
United have been in discussions with Napoli over academy product Garnacho but the Italian side's offers fell below United's asking price, which is understood to be between £60-£70million.
Chelsea have been monitoring the situation and are weighing up whether to make a formal bid.
As exclusively revealed by talkSPORT this week Garnacho is reluctantly open to leaving Old Trafford over fears about where he fits into Ruben Amorim's system.
The young Argentina international has been at Man United since 2020, where he joined from Atletico Madrid, emerging through the academy at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old has made 172 appearances for Man United at under 18, 19, 21 and senior level.
For the senior team he has scored 23 goals and 14 assists, scoring eight times across all competitions this season.
His last goal this season came in November in a 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
Chelsea could bolster their attacking options with Garnacho, who could reunite with Jadon Sancho – another Man United prospect.
