When Chelsea completed the deal to recruit Jamie Gittens from Dortmund earlier this summer, most people thought it means that they will stop the interest for Alejandro Garnacho on MU.
However, the fact that the Blues has never eliminated Garnacho from the sight. And according to the latest information, the world champion was given an individual agreement with the Argentine player. The remaining problem is just negotiating the transfer fee with MU.
Looking in a certain direction, Chelsea pursuing Garnacho is clearly difficult to understand, especially in the context of coach Enzo Maresca's team has brought quite a lot of stars to attack this summer, and they themselves are full of wingers.
This is also the question that Football London's Bobby Vincent journalist received during the recent FAQ on the club's website. The journalist clarified the situation related to Chelsea's interest in Garnacho and the reason behind.
Vincent explains Chelsea want two players for each position. Reciting a person like Garnacho will allow young talent Tyrique George to leave – what has been discussed in the past few weeks. Meanwhile, Gittens and Garnacho will be two options in the left wing.
In fact, Chelsea is quite “thin” personnel in the left corridor. Jadon Sancho and Noni Madueke left the club this summer, while Mykhailo Mudryk is still suspended and unknown when he comes back. Pedro Neto used to play in this position, but that was not the ideal choice, and his ability to score is much higher when kicking on the opposite wing.
If Xavi Simons arrived at Stamford Bridge from RB Leipzig next time, he would almost certainly be stone at No. 10 rather than wing.
Therefore, a deal like Garnacho is reasonable if Chelsea actually has a mindset to build a squad in that direction. This is also a good opportunity, when the 21 -year -old star can be purchased for about 40 million pounds, even lower when the transfer period goes in the final stage, because MU has almost no more options other than having to break up with him this summer.
The value of Garnacho is at the lowest level ever, but it is not possible to forget that it was not long ago, he was predicted to become one of the best players in the world and was contacted with … Real Madrid.
