Chelsea are set to make an official bid for Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho
The 2024/25 season shattered all our hopes. Finishing 15th in the Premier League left Manchester United questioning their identity. Exiting European competition for the 2025/26 season after losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final proved to be the final nail in the coffin. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim took charge mid-season, but the damage had been done. Now that the new chapter of 2025/26 has begun, Amorim has been given full freedom to rebuild the club.
The arrival of big names like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo is certainly a relief for us this summer. Young players like Diogo Leon show us a glimpse of the future. However, every new start has a price. Amorim has made it clear that players who are not in his plans will be removed from the squad. The club need funds and salary space, which is now clear to all. There are also reports of some conflicts in the dressing room, the biggest of which is with Alejandro Garnacho.
Alejandro Garnacho’s exit is open
According to a report in The Telegraph, Chelsea have long been interested in Garnacho. They have now completed all the necessary checks on the player and are preparing a formal offer. Garnacho is also ready to leave United and prefers Chelsea. This news does not surprise us. He is just 21 years old, and a new platform seems necessary to get his career back on track.
Garnacho has the pace, flair and can beat any defender in a one-vs-one. However, after his attitude and the deterioration of relations with Amorim, the club’s patience have now run out. Amorim is a manager who does not compromise on discipline. So the door now seems to be closed for the Argentine winger.
Manchester United are expecting a big bid
It’s sad that such a promising player from our academy has come to this end. However, the situation at the club is such that they need the right price from Garnacho. We have already made two big transfers, and the search for a striker is still on. This can only be possible by selling the 21-year-old winger.
On the other hand, Garnacho himself will now be waiting for an offer from Chelsea. He knows that at Stamford Bridge, he can get the role that is no longer possible at Old Trafford. This move could be a fresh start for him. This is a difficult decision for United to let go of their talent, but it is time for change, and the departure of some old faces seems necessary.
