- Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain.
- Chelsea are tracking Garnacho, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Mathys Tel as potential signings.
- Napoli also interested in Garnacho as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a move for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, alongside Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel.
Garnacho’s Uncertain Future
The 20-year-old Argentine winger’s future at Old Trafford is in question, with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim reportedly open to a squad rebuild where no player is deemed untouchable.
Napoli, who are seeking a replacement for the departed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, have shown strong interest in Garnacho. However, an initial approach from the Serie A side was rejected by United, who are unwilling to part with the player for the suggested fee of £40m.
United are holding firm on their valuation of Garnacho, who played the full 90 minutes in their 3-1 comeback win over Southampton. The club has no intention of accepting cut-price offers or player-swap deals that don’t align with their requirements.
Chelsea’s Interest Expands
Chelsea are closely monitoring Garnacho but are also keen on:
- Jamie Bynoe-Gittens: The 20-year-old Dortmund winger has scored 11 goals this season, including seven in the Bundesliga. Gittens, a former Manchester City academy player, moved to Dortmund at 15 to further his development.
- Mathys Tel: Despite limited opportunities at Bayern Munich this season, Tel showcased his potential in the 2023/24 campaign, scoring 10 goals.
Chelsea are also exploring a late-window loan move for Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi, should other transfer plans fall through.
Concerns About Garnacho’s Temperament
While Garnacho’s talent is undeniable, concerns over his temperament could dissuade Chelsea and Napoli from committing to a big-money transfer.
- He was dropped for the Manchester derby amid training performance concerns.
- Accusations on social media suggest Garnacho leaked United’s teamsheet before matches, potentially straining his relationship with fans.
Despite these issues, Garnacho remains integral to United, missing only one Premier League game this season—the derby against Manchester City.
