Chelsea Monitoring Alejandro Garnacho Situation

According to ESPN, Chelsea are closely monitoring Alejandro Garnacho’s situation at Manchester United — though any potential deal will depend on the sale of several Blues players first.

Manchester United have lowered Garnacho’s asking price from £70 million to £40 million, but Chelsea still need to offload Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson before making a serious move.

Garnacho will not join Manchester United’s pre-season tour in the United States alongside Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Jadon Sancho — indicating that he may not be part of Ruben Amorim’s plans.

• Aston Villa have shown strong interest
• Several Saudi Pro League clubs are also monitoring the situation
• Chelsea previously made an approach during the January transfer window

Although Unai Emery sees Garnacho as a fit for Aston Villa’s style, the player prefers to join a Champions League club and remain in the Premier League.
