Chelsea are reportedly emerging as a serious contender to sign out-of-favour Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho. The Blues are said to hold an “active interest” in the Argentine, whose future at Old Trafford is over, and who has a strong preference to remain in the Premier League. Chelsea will face competition from Aston Villa and Bayern Munich, who have also held exploratory talks.
Furthermore, Chelsea are also keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding another United forward, Marcus Rashford. While Rashford’s priority remains a move to Barcelona, reports claim that both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are waiting in the wings. They are monitoring the situation, ready to make their move if the England international’s dream move to Spain fails to materialize for any reason.
Manchester United’s squad clear-out is creating significant opportunities for their rivals. Chelsea are strategically positioning themselves to potentially capture two high-profile forwards. Their pursuit of Garnacho appears direct, while their interest in Rashford is more opportunistic, making for a fascinating double-saga to watch this summer.
