Chelsea Football Club have opened preliminary talks with Manchester United over the potential signing of Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho, sources close to the negotiation confirmed on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old is said to be open to the move, with personal terms not expected to be a stumbling block.
United Demand Over £40 Million
Manchester United have placed a valuation in excess of £40 million on Garnacho, a figure Chelsea currently consider high. However, insiders suggest that the asking price could drop depending on the outcome of Benjamin Šeško’s expected arrival at Old Trafford.
United are reportedly pressing ahead with a deal for the RB Leipzig striker, and Garnacho’s first-team opportunities could be further limited by the move — a key reason behind his willingness to consider a Stamford Bridge switch.
Chelsea Monitoring Market Movement
Chelsea, under manager Enzo Maresca, are actively reshaping their attack and see Garnacho as a versatile, high-upside addition to their long-term project.
The club remains confident that if United’s forward line becomes crowded, negotiating leverage will shift in their favour.
