Chelsea are hoping to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United before the summer transfer window closes.
The 21-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United, and they are looking to get rid of him. The Blues have already confirmed their desire to pay around £35-40 million for the attacker.
Chelsea in talks to land Garnacho
According to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs are currently locked in talks, and a deal is likely to be concluded soon. Garnacho needs regular gametime, and he has decided to join Chelsea. The move to the London club will allow him to showcase his qualities in the Premier League regularly.
Chelsea need more quality and depth on the flanks, and the South American should prove to be an excellent investment for them. The player registered 21 goal contributions last season, and he will look to compete at a high level regularly with the Blues. It remains whether Manchester United regret their decision to let the player leave, especially to a direct rival.
