Chelsea are aiming to sign Alejandro Garnacho for €29 million, which they feel is a fair price for a player unwanted by Manchester United.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea are prepared to pay €29 million to sign Alejandro Garnacho. The Blues feel the figure represents the right valuation for a player unwanted by his club, Manchester United, who are eager to offload the Argentine attacker.
Alejandro Garnacho is one of those players that Manchester United are actively trying to offload before the transfer deadline. The Red Devils do not view him for their plans, although they do not consider the player bad in terms of quality, and only feel their ideas do not match the Argentine’s.
Hence, they are hoping to get him through he door alongside other players who are out of their plans, such as Antony, Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho. As for Garnacho, he has already rejected an approach from Bayern Munich to favour a move to Chelsea.
Chelsea have been planning for a bid as talks have already begun in the background with Manchester United. The issue for the Blues is with some of their players, whom they want to get rid of, such as Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, as they have told key targets like Xavi Simons and Garnacho that a move will be completed before the end of the month.
As for his valuation, Chelsea are reportedly only willing to pay €29 million for the player, which they believe reflects his actual market value. Manchester United, for their part, are demanding considerably more for the star who had 21 goals and assists across all competitions last season.
Will Chelsea pay more for Alejandro Garnacho?
Chelsea are adamant on their valuation and will probably make an opening offer for the 21 G/A Manchester United whizkid soon in the region mentioned in the report. Enzo Maresca recently highlighted the need to have a varied option in his attack, and Garnacho is believed to be the one the Italian manager is thinking about.
In all probability, Chelsea are expecting their reported €29 million approach to be turned down by Manchester United. While the Blues are not expected to match the Red Devils’ huge asking price for the Argentine, the two sides are very much expected to meet in the middle to get a deal done for Garnacho.
