Man Utd have been in talks over a deal that could see Alejandro Garnacho head to Chelsea with Nicolas Jackson moving the other way.
Chelsea Eye Man Utd star Garnacho as swap deal looms
Chelsea have set their sights on Alejandro Garnacho for this summer window. They have reportedly put several players on the table to make the move happen.
Alongside Nicolas Jackson, players including Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, and Renato Veiga have been mentioned. It is reported that the Blues have already agreed terms with Garnacho. The player is willing to commit until 2032.
The young winger sees Stamford Bridge as a new opportunity after a poor season. Although, the top European sides and tempting offers from Saudi Arabia will entice him. But, he remains intent on staying within the PL.
Meanwhile, **United**still expect a straightforward cash deal for their talented winger. They are looking for more options before the transfer window closes.
Jackson’s future up in the air
Nicolas Jackson has lot of admirers for his pace and power. He finds himself out of favour at Chelsea less than a year after signing a lengthy nine-year contract. Head coach Enzo Maresca appears to have no plans for the Senegal forward. So, that leaves the door open for an exit.
In the meantime, Tottenham and other PL clubs have shown interest. But, a direct swap for Garnacho remains the most eye-catching offer for now. Jackson’s £80m valuation has raised eyebrows, but his physical attributes and attacking threat continue to attract suitors.
Man Utd are thinking about their options closely at the moment. Clearly, Garnacho wishes to go to Chelsea. The closing weeks of the summer window will be crucial for both clubs. They will want to make their squad ready and improve their options in very important areas.
