Chelsea fans have been reacting to the news that Chelsea and Man United could swap Alejandro Garnacho with Christopher Nkunku.
The big reports coming out of the media on Tuesday have been all about a potential swap deal between United and Chelsea, where both teams are considering whether it would be beneficial for Chelsea to send Nkunku to Man United and for them to get Garnacho in return.
The Blues have been linked to signing Garnacho, who has an asking price by Man United of £70m. Furthermore, the Red Devils have been linked with French striker Nkunku in the past. The Blues signed him for £51m in 2023.
It would be a crazy piece of business from two rivals, but seeing as Garnacho and Nkunku are both set to leave Man United and Chelsea, there is part of the deal which does make sense. Chelsea fans have been reacting to the news on X…

Christopher Nkunku is mid, but Manchester United don’t care anyway, they like mid player. Chelsea getting Garnacho is a good deal for ’em

Garnacho for Nkunku? One of the teams is definitely getting scammed, and we all know which one it is 😂.

Garnacho could replace Noni Madueke if Chelsea sell him
The swap deal reports have emerged around the same time that reports have suggested that Arsenal are interested in signing Noni Madueke, who the Blues have priced at around £50m.
Madueke had a solid season for Enzo Maresca’s side last season, making 43 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists.
If the Blues were to bring Garnacho in, he could help to replace the England international if Chelsea were willing to let him leave to join London rivals Arsenal.
