Alejandro Garnacho has chosen Chelsea as the best place to get his career back on track after a tough time at Manchester United with manager Ruben Amorim. The 21-year-old winger, who has mostly been on the bench since Amorim took over, is “waiting and hoping” that the teams can come to an agreement before the transfer window closes.
Multiple sources say that Garnacho has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea. It is said that every detail of the contract, from the salary structure to the length of the contract, has been worked out, showing that he is serious about moving to Stamford Bridge. The Argentine thinks this move is a great chance for him to start growing again in a place that values his attacking style and creativity.
The transfer fee is still the biggest problem. Reports say that Manchester United wants about £50 million for the winger, which they think is a fair price based on his age, potential, and market value. Chelsea, on the other hand, thinks this is an unfair price because Garnacho’s role in Amorim’s squad has changed. Recent comparisons in the market, like the Noni Madueke deal to Arsenal, have made their position stronger.
Sources say that Chelsea’s interest is part of a bigger summer shake-up, as the team wants to change up its attacking options. The Blues have also been linked with moves for Xavi Simons and other young players, which shows that they want to build a long-term, dynamic forward line. But they have already spent a lot of money, so they will probably need to sell some players to make room for new ones before they can sign them.
Alejandro Garnacho has Struggled at Manchester United
Things have gotten worse for Garnacho at United very quickly in the last few months. He used to be seen as one of the best young players at Old Trafford, but since Amorim took over, he hasn’t played as much because the system doesn’t rely as much on traditional wingers. He wants to leave because he hasn’t been playing enough, and Chelsea is the team that is most likely to sign him.
If the deal goes through, it could be a big win for Chelsea and a chance for Garnacho to get his Premier League career back on track. The choice for United will be whether or not they are willing to lower their asking price or risk having an unhappy player on their roster. Both clubs have a lot of pressure on them right now because the deadline is coming up and negotiations are still going on.
