‘Wouldn’t Even Pay 70 Euros’ ‘Not Needed’ Fans React To Target’s Price Tag As Romano Confirms Chelsea May Table Bid

Chelsea are “now deciding internally whether to bid” for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Napoli have tabled a formal offer worth €50m (£42m), including add-ons but the Red Devils are demanding a much higher fee. Reports suggest that Ruben Amorim’s side will hold out for around €70m (£59m) but Blues supporters on X don’t believe that Garnacho is worth that much:

Why do Chelsea want Garnacho?

Head coach Enzo Maresca doesn’t have a lot of options on the left flank due to Mykhailo Mudryk’s provisional drugs ban.

Jadon Sancho is the only other alternative in that position. Pedro Neto was handed a start against Wolves but the Portuguese international is better deployed on the right wing.

With the club also said to be considering offers for Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix, there is scope for adding another forward to the first-team squad.

Why are United looking to sell?

Until recently, Garnacho was regarded as one of the club’s prize assets but the Red Devils need to raise funds in order to strengthen the squad.

Furthermore, he is not the perfect fit for Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, having spent a fair amount of time on the bench since the Portuguese’s appointment back in November.
