Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea
Chelsea are still intent on strengthening their attack before next week’s deadline. RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons remains a primary target, with a potential Nkunku return helping smooth negotiations between the two clubs.
Alongside Simons, the Blues have made Alejandro Garnacho their other top priority. The Argentine winger has informed Manchester United of his desire to switch to Stamford Bridge, going as far as rejecting interest from Bayern Munich. Chelsea have valued him at around £25m, though United are demanding double that figure (£50m).
The standoff means this saga may not be resolved until the very last day of the window. Garnacho, for his part, is reportedly prepared to spend the season on the fringes at Old Trafford if United deny him the move he wants.
