Man Utd’s Alejandro Garnacho has informed his agent of his decision to move to Chelsea this summer.
Alejandro Garnacho Picks the Stamford Bridge Club as His Next Stop
Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is believed to have confirmed his future. As per The Sun, he is ready to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window. The 20-year-old Argentine looked phenomenal under Erik ten Hag. He has produced some serious numbers this season with 21 goal contributions.
Garnacho has been at odds with new boss Ruben Amorim in the recent weeks. That is especially after being named as a substitute for the Europa League final loss against Spurs. All this has pushed Garnacho toward the exit. He is not happy by the lack of trust in big matches. Now, the young winger has made it clear to his camp about his future. As per reports, he wants to join the Blues.
Although, Red Devils had hoped to sell their player to a club abroad. But, an interest from Chelsea has turned his head. Amorim’s side have responded by slapping a £60 million price tag on his name.
Meanwhile, the move has left a bitter taste for former manager Ten Hag. The former Utd manager had hoped to bring him to Bayer Leverkusen. Now, other suitors like Napoli and Atletico Madrid, his old youth club, are likely to miss out.
Mixed Reactions at United Over the Winger’s Decision
Garnacho’s likely move to a Premier League rival has stirred strong reactions. While Utd legend Roy Keane believes the player should leave due to maturity concerns. And Paul Scholes has expressed disappointment, warning that his former side could regret letting him and youngster Kobbie Mainoo leave.
Despite his age, the forward has become a key attacking option for Utd. And losing him to a domestic rival could likely backfire in the future.
Meanwhile, Utd’s new owners INEOS seem set on reshaping the squad and using Garnacho’s sale to boost their transfer budget. Still, letting go of a young, talented winger who has already proven himself in big games may not sit well with many fans.
If Chelsea do seal the deal, they’ll be adding a hungry and explosive wide man to their ranks. He is the one who might just have a point to prove back at Old Trafford.
