It is shaping up to be another dramatic transfer window at Stamford Bridge.
After a season successful season that saw the Blues capturing the UEFA Conference League and securing a place in the Champions League, Chelsea’s focus have turned to the summer transfer window.
Enzo Maresca’s team want a younger core and they have their eyes on a fiery talent lighting up the Premier League.
The London club, known for aggressive transfer strategies in recent windows, are once again looking north.
Manchester United had a nightmare season finishing 15th in the Premier League. They also lost the Europa League final.
This means one of the most successful clubs in England will not feature in European competitions next season.
The Red Devils are looking to offload players to balance their books and bring in new players that go with the vision of their Portuguese manager, Ruben Amorim.
That is why they are now reportedly open to listening to offers for one of their brightest young attackers.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Chelsea remain interested in Alejandro Garnacho and are staying in touch with the winger’s representatives.
Their interest has not cooled despite the player playing a significant role at Old Trafford last season.
The Argentine winger enjoyed a breakthrough campaign, tallying 11 goals and 10 assists across all competitions in 58 appearances.
However, the manager, Ruben Amorim snubbed him for the starting XI for their Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.
So, it was an indication that the time for Alejandro Garnacho at Old Trafford was coming to an end.
Manchester United are said to be open to offers in the region of €55 million. With squad restructuring in progress, no player is entirely untouchable at Manchester United.
While Chelsea continue to weigh their options and wait for the right moment to strike, the final move might not come from either club.
That decision, as per CaughtOffside, now rests with the player himself.
Alejandro Garnacho is yet to make a final call on whether he wants to push for a new challenge or continue his development at Old Trafford.
His next step could define his career and Chelsea are watching closely.
