Alejandro Garnacho is said to have decided which team he wants to join this summer after severing ties with Manchester United earlier this month. A significant backlash resulted after the 20-year-old’s benching during the Red Devils’ Europa League final loss to Tottenham, where he played just 19 minutes.
Garnacho vented his displeasure in a harsh post-match interview with Spanish media, while his brother, who also acts as his agent, made a subtle jab at manager Ruben Amorim on social media. Tensions escalated within a week, leading to a furious altercation on the training field during which Amorim told Garnacho he ought to find a new team this summer.
The Argentine winger, who is expected to depart United with 26 goals and 22 assists in 144 professional appearances, has drawn a lot of interest from clubs throughout Europe despite the chaos. It appears that he has already decided where he wants to go next.
Alejandro Garnacho Interested In Chelsea Move
The Blues have held a long-standing admiration for the youngster
Garnacho is excited to join Chelsea in the upcoming weeks, according to The Sun. After his reps were seen at a Blues game earlier this season, he was previously linked to a move to Stamford Bridge.
The Argentine star has reportedly told his agent to make it plain to new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca that he wants to continue in the Premier League, even if Napoli has also expressed interest. The newspaper was informed by a source:
“The Premier League is the greatest in the world, as Alejandro [Garnacho] is aware.” Even though he has enjoyed some success at United, he still aspires to become a global celebrity. The greatest location to achieve it is in England, and Chelsea has a lot of talented young players.
Rasmus Hojlund called Garnacho “incredible” last season, and it’s obvious he thinks he should be Man United’s primary man. In addition to his dissatisfaction with Amorim’s management of Old Trafford, his steadfast self-belief now seems to be the main reason behind his departure from the Theatre of Dreams.
Chelsea is a desirable destination ahead of the summer transfer window because of their Champions League qualification and Europa Conference League victory. However, Garnacho might be ignoring the reality that lies beyond the curtain of Stamford Bridge. The Blues have made it a practice to trade players more quickly than a London real estate developer under Todd Boehly’s careless leadership. Additionally, they have a mixed record when it comes to wingers.
Among the wide men in the mix are Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Jadon Sancho; none of them have been able to make a strong case. Garnacho will be joining a long and dangerous line if he takes the initiative.
