The fact that Chelsea can recruit Garnacho will depend on the possibility that the London team can sell Nkunku or not.
The knot in the Garnacho deal
The door at Man Utd closed in front of Garnacho. The Argentine striker really wants to join Chelsea and the London team is also ready to complete the deal. The two parties have reached an oral agreement on a contract.
Unfortunately, the deal has not been completed. Accordingly, although Chelsea is ready, it is difficult to purify the squad before signing a contract with the striker of the Man Utd payroll.
The knot in this deal is in Christopher Nkunku. The Sun newspaper said the Blues are demanding a relatively high price for Nkunku. This figure hindered the transfer of Garnacho to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will have to sell Nkunku before buying Alejandro Garnacho. |
According to this newspaper, The Blues rejected the offer to lend from Bayern Munich to the French player. Because the London team is requiring approximately 54 million euros for the French striker.
If Chelsea cannot sell Nkunku this summer, the contract with Garnacho may not be done. United is said to want at least 50 million pounds for the 21 -year -old. The above figure is equivalent to the amount of Chelsea who wants to collect from the Nkunku deal.
Since signing with Chelsea in the summer of 2023, Nkunku has had a disappointing time in the London team. Injury seriously affected the former RB Leipzig star. By this time, Nkunku only scored 18 goals in 62 matches.
In addition to Nkunku, Chelsea is also rushing to sell Nicolas Jackson and Tyrique George. The Blues bought a lot of players over the past time and the Stamford Bridge home team also needed to consider purifying the squad.
Coach Enzo Maresca confirmed that Chelsea could play better at Stamford Bridge, but did not want to criticize too much about his team.
Coach Enzo Maresca did not regret the praise for rookie Estevao Willian after the young Brazilian talent had a promising Premier League pitch in Chelsea's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday night.
According to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Aston Villa is negotiating to sign a contract with striker Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea.
