Alejandro Garnacho has made a huge statement in the transfer market by liking a post from Fabrizio Romano that said Chelsea are interested in him. The move can be seen as a public statement of intent from the Manchester United winger, as rumours grow about a possible move to Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho interacted with Romano’s post on Instagram over the weekend. The post talked about both him and Xavi Simons as possible targets for Chelsea. For a lot of fans, this is a strong sign that the Argentine is willing, if not eager, to move to West London. This kind of subtle digital gesture might seem harmless, but it has caused a lot of debate among fans and experts, especially since Garnacho’s attitude and behaviour have already been called into question at Old Trafford.
Several reports say that the Blues are still very interested in the 21-year-old, who was one of Manchester United’s best players last season. During his time at the club, Garnacho played in 144 games, scored a number of important goals, and even helped the Red Devils win the FA Cup. He also won the FIFA Puskás Award for his amazing bicycle kick against Everton.

Even so, it seems that his relationship with the new United manager, Ruben Amorim, is not going well. Amorim has told the player to look for a new team and hasn’t put him on the club’s pre-season squad. Some reports say that Chelsea are getting ready to make a formal offer for Garnacho, and there are rumours that Nicolas Jackson could be involved in a trade.
United value Garnacho at more than £40 million, which Chelsea might be willing to pay if a player is included in the deal. Other teams, like Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, and Aston Villa, are also keeping an eye on the situation, but it looks like the player would rather go to Chelsea next.
This most recent event on social media has only made the rumours stronger. There is less than a month left in the window, so everyone will be watching Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford to see what happens next.
