Alejandro Garnacho is at the heart of a summer storm which could well shake up the dynamics to Old Trafford. Placed in what Ruben Amorim described as “Bomb Squad” From the start of the summer, Garnacho, alongside his exiled compatriots Jadon Sancho, Antony, Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia, clearly showed his dissatisfaction with his current situation. After being confined to the bench during the Europa League final, a role that does not correspond to his ambitions, the Argentine winger had been summoned by Amorim to seek a new club.
According to information from Daily Mail Reported earlier during the summer, the 21 -year -old winger would have made the decision to leave Manchester United and now seems to turn his eyes to Chelsea, who manifests a very marked interest. Manchester United, for their part, saw their strategy evolve. Initially, the Red Devils claimed an amount of 70 million pounds sterling (around 80.5 million euros) to let Garnacho go, but faced with the insistence of the player and the desire to conclude quickly, they lowered their requirements to 50 million pounds (around 57.5 million euros).
Garnacho forces his departure
This pressure stroke exerted by Garnacho does not go unnoticed: he clearly informed his leaders that he wants a transfer to Chelsea, under penalty of staying on the bench for an extended period, potentially between six and twelve months. This showdown underlines how the young winger wants to make a new start in his career, seeking an environment in which he will have a more preponderant role. The situation creates palpable tension within the Mancunian club, which must now manage its workforce and this pressing request. For his part, Chelsea was quick to intensify the negotiations to complete the deal as quickly as possible.
The Guardian Specifies that the Blues have already concluded an agreement on personal conditions with Garnacho and activate to find common ground with Manchester United on the amount of the transfer. The London club, after studying the player's character and determination, does not seem worried about this crisis situation in Manchester, seeing a promising recruit in him to strengthen his attack. In addition, Chelsea also explores other tracks, such as a possible exchange with the RB Leipzig involving Xavi Simons and Christopher Nkunku, which testifies to a clear desire to act quickly on the market. In this context, the pressure put by Garnacho could well accelerate a major change in the Manchester United workforce.
