Chelsea Football Club has recently intensified discussions to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, particularly following the anticipated transfer of Noni Madueke to Arsenal for approximately £52 million . The urgency behind Chelsea's pursuit of Garnacho stems from their need to fill the void left by Madueke, who has been a key player in their attacking lineup. Reports indicate that Garnacho turned down a lucrative offer from Al-Nassr, demonstrating his preference to remain in the Premier League .
Napoli showed interest in the 21-year-old at the start of the window but those links have since gone quiet and The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath revealed on Monday that he’s ‘rejected’ the chance to ‘pursue a move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia’.
That report claimed Garnacho is ‘prioritising’ a move within Europe after Al-Nassr held ‘initial discussions’ over a transfer, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed Garnacho’s even narrower desire for a next club.
Romano tweeted: ‘Alejandro Garnacho’s plan remains clear, he wants to continue in Premier League this summer.
Tottenham have also already finalised a permanent deal for Mathys Tel.
As a result, Daniel Levy’s side have put their Garnacho interest on the backburner.
Bayern Munich want to bring in at least a couple of forward options this summer and they have also made recent enquiries about Garnacho.
Although, a number of potential options for the 21-year-old have dropped off the radar.
Evan Ferguson’s next loan move away from Brighton will take him to Roma, where he has shaken hands on a season-long seal. The Irishman did not pull up any trees at West Ham, so will be hoping a new country will do him the world of good. Roma are also interested in signing Lens’ Neil El Aynaoui, who is also a target for Everton.
Garnacho's potential acquisition is viewed as a strategic move for Chelsea as they seek to bolster their attacking options amidst an evolving squad dynamic. The club is also exploring other forward alternatives such as Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro . However, Garnacho stands out due to his proven talent and youthfulness, making him an attractive prospect for a club aiming for both immediate impact and long-term development. Thus, this move could signify a pivotal moment in Chelsea’s rebuilding efforts.
