According to emerging reports, Chelsea reportedly offered Manchester United a chance to sign Tyrique George in a swap deal for Alejandro Garnacho. Despite the opportunity to sign the winger, the Red Devils have insisted on receiving cash for the Argentine.
The Blues have been linked with a move for the forward throughout the summer, but have prioritized completing other signings to date. Alejandro Garnacho, on his part, has prioritized a move to Chelsea and has turned down reported interest from sides including Aston Villa and Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window.
Garnacho is a highly rated young forward and would go a long way in adding depth to an already impressive Blues side were crowned champions of the world in the recently concluded Club World Cup. He came through the Manchester United Academy, but he is expected to part ways after falling out with manager Ruben Amorim. With less than a week left in the summer transfer window, it remains to be seen how Chelsea and the Red Devils will arrange a deal for the wantaway forward.
Chelsea Continue to Work on Transfer Business
Chelsea’s transfer window has been incisive and has seen the world champions strengthen a range of positions throughout the window. Following the Blues’ UEFA Europa Conference League and Club World Cup triumphs, the club has added options to a team that already looked impressive for vast stretches of the previous campaign. The Blues are looking to challenge for more honors, and with a direct route to the Champions League phase following their Premier League exploits last term, they look set to compete for even more silverware.
Chelsea is yet to conclude their business in the transfer window, with moves for Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig expected to be completed before the transfer window slams shut. The Blues will hope to continue the fine form that they have started in the new season and build on their win against West Ham United when they take on Fulham in their next Premier League clash.
