Alejandro Garnacho, the talented winger from Manchester United, has expressed his desire to transfer to Chelsea this summer through his recent activity on Instagram. Despite wanting to leave United, Garnacho is determined to stay in the Premier League and join a Champions League club, making Chelsea the top choice for him.
The Argentina international had a falling out with Ruben Amorim at the end of last season and as a result, he has been left out of the club's pre-season tour of the United States. With United open to selling him, they have set a transfer fee of £40m, a significant drop from the initial asking price of £70m during the January window when both Chelsea and Napoli showed interest.
Garnacho has made his preferred move clear by liking Fabrizio Romano's Instagram post on Saturday night, which stated that he remains on Chelsea's shortlist alongside RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons. It seems that Chelsea are actively pursuing both players, with Romano's post mentioning that negotiations for Simons are at an advanced stage and Garnacho's name is still on their list for later in August.
The post also mentioned that Chelsea are looking to make these signings if some of their current players leave, such as Joao Felix, Guiu, Broja, Nkunku, Jackson, and Sterling. It is crucial for Chelsea to secure new signings to replace any potential outgoing players.
