Chelsea’s pursuit of Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is heating up as the January transfer deadline approaches.
The 20-year-old Argentine has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, and speculation surged on Thursday when Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella ‘liked’ an Instagram post by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano revealed that Chelsea is preparing a formal bid, with United demanding a hefty €70m fee for Garnacho.
Napoli, previously in the race, has reportedly shifted focus to other targets, including talks for Adeyemi
The situation has sparked reactions among fans. One Chelsea supporter on Reddit expressed confidence in the transfer, citing United’s financial needs and the winger’s apparent interest in joining the Blues.
Meanwhile, speculation grew as a Manchester United fan claimed Garnacho’s brother removed social media posts about Chelsea players Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.
Fabrizio Romano also confirmed on X that Chelsea is planning to make an official approach, though negotiations won’t be easy due to United’s valuation. With limited time left in the window, the pressure is on Chelsea to finalize the deal.
