Chelsea are set to lose their 20 year old target as he is close to joining Spanish giants this summer. His departure from current club is already confirmed but the Blues may fail to land him.
The Blues are set for a busy summer transfer window after a quiet January one. They have defensive signings as top priority but will also want to improve their attack. They are keen to land a striker and a winger and many names have been linked with them.
Chelsea interested to sign Man United winger
The Blues were heavily linked with Alejandro Garnacho in January. Man United were keen to sell him and Chelsea were showing interest in him along with Serie A giants Napoli. But, the deal failed which resulted in the Argentine staying at Old Trafford.
Man United are still interested to sell Garnacho. The 20 year old is not viewed as perfect fit in Ruben Amorim’s plans. In addition, they are in financial crises right now and selling academy players will be very beneficial for the club.
Chelsea may once again enter the race for Garnacho as he is perfect fit as per their requirements. The Blues want a winger who can play on both sides as well as in the middle. In addition, they want him young which has been their top hiring criteria. However, the Blues are set to lose Garnacho as he is close to join Spanish giants.
Garnacho close to join Atletico Madrid in summer
According to Fichajes, Alejandro Garnacho is close to join Atletico Madrid in summer. The Argentine is looked upon as perfect fit in Diego Simeone’s plans. It is also reported that the player has had verbal agreement with the Spanish club.
🚨 Manchester United and Atletico Madrid have reportedly already struck a verbal agreement for the €50m transfer of Alejandro Garnacho.

Man United value Garnacho at £70 million the same as Kobbie Mainoo. This will ease a lot of financial pressure from the club. In addition, it will make the Red Devils strong in PSR and will also help in funding new signings.
