Chelsea Set to Initiate Talks with Man Utd Over £70M-Rated Tottenham, PSG-Linked Talent | OneFootball

Rúben Amorim’s decision to exclude Alejandro Garnacho from the Manchester derby last month has sparked renewed speculation about the winger’s future at Manchester United.

According to the Daily Mail, Garnacho is no longer considered “untouchable” at Old Trafford, with top European clubs like Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Barcelona closely monitoring his situation.

While a transfer doesn’t seem imminent, United might entertain offers in the range of £70 million. However, clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Juventus could find it difficult to match that valuation.

Journalist Steve Kay has reported that Tottenham has made a serious inquiry about Garnacho, while CaughtOffside highlights ongoing interest from Atletico Madrid, PSG, and Juventus.

Should the right offer come in, United may be open to a sale, though Atletico and Juventus may face financial hurdles in meeting the asking price.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reported on Thursday that Chelsea are set to begin club-to-club talks with Manchester United over Garnacho, who is said to be interested in a move to Stamford Bridge. The Red Devils have reportedly set a starting price of €70 million for the winger.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Napoli’s opening offer for Alejandro Garnacho is €50 million, including add-ons, but Manchester United are holding out for a higher fee.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte is pressing for the deal, following a call with Garnacho last Friday. Meanwhile, Chelsea have reached out to United and the player’s representatives and is weighing up whether to make a formal bid.
