Chelsea is set to reignite its interest in Alejandro Garnacho this summer, following Manchester United establishing their asking price for the player.
History of Interest
The Blues had previously shown interest in acquiring Garnacho during the January transfer window but couldn’t finalize a deal with United.
Form and Market Activity
Once a standout talent at United, Garnacho’s performance has dipped recently, prompting the club to consider selling him. The Red Devils were willing to entertain offers in January and continue to do so this summer to generate funds for Ruben Amorim’s transfer budget.
Amorim’s Goals and Garnacho’s Future
Amorim is aiming to bring in a new striker, midfielder, and goalkeeper after a rocky start, but he understands that player sales are critical to achieving this goal.
Price Tag and Other Interests
With interest from clubs like Chelsea and Napoli, United is reportedly asking for ‘at least £65m’ for Garnacho, according to the Daily Star.
Player Sentiments
Garnacho is reportedly contemplating a summer transfer after experiencing limited opportunities under Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag last November.
Expert Opinions
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand argues against selling Garnacho, citing his potential impact when given space to operate. He believes sticking with the young player would be beneficial for the club.
