As Chelsea gear up for a return to the Champions League, they’re making bold moves in the transfer market—and the next big target on their radar? Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
Garnacho No Longer in United’s Plans
The 21-year-old winger has reportedly been told he doesn’t have a future under new United boss Ruben Amorim.
Once a promising star at Old Trafford, Garnacho now finds himself on the fringes of the squad.
It’s a far cry from the hype that once surrounded him—and that has opened the door for a potential switch to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea Want Him, But at the Right Price
Chelsea have already made their interest known by directly asking United how much they’d want for Garnacho. And the answer? £50 million.
That figure is notably lower than the initial £70 million United had previously valued him at—showing just how far he’s fallen in the club’s pecking order.
Stamford Bridge Officials Do Their Homework
Before making any serious moves, Chelsea’s leadership team wanted to make sure there wouldn’t be any off-field baggage.
But after a thorough check, they’ve been reassured.
There are no red flags about Garnacho’s attitude or professionalism, and the club is feeling confident about pursuing him.
Garnacho’s Numbers Speak for Themselves
Despite being sidelined recently, Garnacho has racked up impressive stats in his time with United: 144 appearances, 26 goals, and 22 assists.
He’s also got silverware to his name—helping United win the FA Cup in the 2023-24 season and the EFL Cup a year earlier.
Chelsea’s Summer Rebuild in Full Swing
Chelsea have already been active in this transfer window.
They snapped up left winger Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund for £48.5 million, and Brazilian teen sensation Estevao Willian from Palmeiras to strengthen the right wing. But they’re not stopping there.
More Attacking Reinforcements on the Way?
Alongside their pursuit of Garnacho, Chelsea are also still chasing RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons as part of their wider attacking overhaul.
They’re clearly building a younger, sharper frontline for their Champions League comeback.
United Moving Forward Without Garnacho
Meanwhile, United are preparing for life without the Argentine winger.
They’re closing in on a £74.1 million deal for Benjamin Sesko, also from Leipzig—suggesting their focus is firmly on a new attacking identity under Amorim.
What’s Next for Garnacho?
With Chelsea’s interest heating up and United ready to sell, Garnacho’s next move could be just around the corner.
A fresh start in London, regular football, and a chance to be part of an exciting rebuild? It might just be what he needs.
