Enzo Maresca, Chelsea boss, comments on Alejandro Garnacho’s arrival | OneFootball

On Thursday afternoon, it emerged that Manchester United had accepted Chelsea's offer for Alejandro Garnacho, with only minor details remaining before his transfer is made official. Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca, coach of the Blues, has already spoken about the incorporation of the Argentine striker.

In the press conference before the clash against Fulham, the technical director of the London team was asked about Bichito and did not hide. "I know he's already around the club. What is clear is that his position is as a winger and I see him as a winger," the Italian asserted.

Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in transfer market, reported that the institutions agreed on the transfer. The Blues will pay around 40 million pounds for the young star of the Red Devils. The only obstacle was that Chelsea first wanted to get rid of some attacker. While they are looking for a way out for Nico Jackson, sought after by Bayern Munich, the one who found an exit was Christopher Nkunku, who will play in Milan.

Garnacho's departure from Manchester United comes after a tense relationship with Rúben Amorim, his coach, with whom he definitively broke off the relationship at the end of last season, with strong cross statements. The Argentine was separated from the professional squad, began to look for a new destination, and in his mind were always the Blues. "Sell me to Chelsea or I stay here without playing for the next 6 or 12 months," he reportedly told United's leaders, according to European media.
