Man United outcast ‘would welcome’ Chelsea transfer approach | OneFootball

Man United star Alejandro Garnacho would reportedly “welcome an approach” from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The Argentina international’s time at Old Trafford appears to be up after he fell out with manager Ruben Amorim towards the end of last season.

Garnacho, along with Marcus Rashford, was left out of the matchday squad to face Manchester City on 15 December, because of “training performances, game performances and engagement with team-mates”.

Unlike Rashford, who has now joined Barcelona on loan with an option to buy, the 21-year-old worked his way back into Amorim’s plans to become a regular starter again.

However, Garnacho was dropped to the bench for Man United’s final three games of the season, including the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, before he was reportedly told by Amorim to find a new club.

Speculation over the player’s future has swirled ever since then, particularly as Man United need to sell players in order to recruit new ones, with Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia also on the chopping block.

Garnacho is reportedly determined to to stay in the Premier League rather than move abroad, with both Aston Villa and Chelsea both linked to a move for the outcast.

The Blues were said to be interested in potentially signing the winger in January, and he would “welcome an approach” the club this summer, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. The report adds that he is “still expected to leave in the coming weeks”.

The Telegraph claims that Chelsea “retain an interest” in Garnacho and the possible arrival of Xavi Simons would not preclude them from signing the Man United attacker. They are in talks with RB Leipzig over a deal, while Joao Felix is set to join Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr and Christopher Nkunku could yet leave Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Jacobs also reports that United have reduced Sancho’s price to £17m amid interest from Borussia Dortmund and Juventus. Chelsea chose not to activate the £25m obligation to buy clause in the winger’s loan deal last season, instead paying a £5m cancellation fee.
