Garnacho Determined for Chelsea Move as Man Utd Reject Swap Deals
Sports 9 days ago
Alejandro Garnacho has made it clear he only wants to join Chelsea, agreeing to terms until 2032 after falling out of favor at Manchester United. The Argentine winger sees Stamford Bridge as the ideal place to revive his career, dismissing offers from Bayer Leverkusen, Saudi Arabia, and Napoli. Chelsea aims to secure him for around £30 million, though United values him closer to £50 million.
Manchester United has rejected multiple swap deals proposed by Chelsea, including players like Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, and Renato Veiga. The Red Devils are adamant about receiving cash to reinvest in their squad rather than accepting players in exchange. Garnacho, who scored 11 goals last season, is determined to force a move, even if it means sitting out a year at Old Trafford.
Garnacho’s frustration grew after being benched in the Europa League final, sparking a social media outburst. He joins Jadon Sancho and Antony as high-profile players yet to secure exits from United. Manager Ruben Amorim has warned that unsold players will be reintegrated, emphasizing competition for World Cup spots. Meanwhile, Sky Sports offers discounted bundles ahead of the new season, promising more live Premier League matches.
