Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho remains focused on completing a transfer to Chelsea and has turned down an approach from Bayern Munich.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who has posted on X that Garnacho to Chelsea looks to be advancing, with the Argentina international not interested in other potential destinations.
It seems Bayern have also been keen to try signing Garnacho, but he’s turned down an offer to move to the Allianz Arena in the last 48 hours.
See below for details from Romano on his official X page as he says a deal for the 21-year-old to move from Old Trafford to Stamford Bridge remains underway…

Alejandro Garnacho rejects Bayern as he holds out for Chelsea transfer
Bayern are a big club, so it’s quite a statement from Garnacho to be turning them down to wait for his move to Chelsea to go through.
Blues fans will be delighted with that, as it shows they continue to hold a really strong pull for the game’s top players.

But there are signs of this new-look project under Todd Boehly starting to come together, with Enzo Maresca proving a smart managerial appointment.
It makes sense that Garnacho would now be tempted to become a part of that, with Chelsea looking like they could perhaps be dark horses in this year’s title race, while you can also never bet against them in the Champions League.
