Chelsea’s Interest in Garnacho
The 20-year-old has emerged as a surprise transfer target for Chelsea, with reports suggesting that the Blues have made inquiries about his availability.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea has approached United regarding a potential deal, seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Meanwhile, Napoli also registered their interest in the winger, reportedly submitting a bid that United rejected last week.
However, Chelsea remains firmly in the conversation, with Garnacho’s presence at Stamford Bridge adding weight to the speculation.
Why Manchester United Could Sell
United faces financial constraints due to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), which may force them to sell high-value academy graduates like Garnacho.
Since players developed through a club’s academy represent pure profit in financial reports, United could consider cashing in on the promising talent.
Reports from the Manchester Evening News indicate that United is under “increasing pressure” to sell key assets, making Garnacho a potential departure candidate if the right offer arrives.
What’s Next?
With the transfer window still open, Chelsea’s pursuit of Garnacho could intensify in the coming weeks.
Whether United is willing to part with one of their brightest prospects remains to be seen, but the growing interest from Chelsea and other European clubs suggests this saga is far from over.
