π¨ Chelsea value Alejandro Garnacho at Β£30M and delay talks, expecting price drop.
Chelsea Football Club are reportedly monitoring Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho closely and have placed a valuation of Β£30 million on the Argentine winger β significantly below what United would even consider.
According to sources, Chelsea are leaving their approach until late in the transfer window, operating under the belief that Garnacho’s valuation might drop if United become desperate for funds following their recent spending spree on Benjamin Ε eΕ‘ko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha.
The move is seen as opportunistic, with Chelsea hoping to exploit any potential Financial Fair Play (FFP) pressure United might face. However, insiders at Old Trafford remain adamant that Garnacho is not for sale, especially after a breakthrough 2023/24 campaign in which he became a regular starter and fan favorite.
Garnacho, still only 20, is considered a key part of Manchester Unitedβs future under INEOS. He signed a long-term contract last year, and the club have repeatedly rejected interest from across Europe, including La Liga giants and Premier League rivals.
Chelseaβs strategy to wait until the final days of the window is not without risk. United remain firm, and Garnacho himself is believed to be fully committed to the club, showing no signs of wanting a move.
Still, with the transfer window notorious for late twists, Chelsea are quietly keeping lines open β hoping that circumstances at United may shift. Whether or not theyβre willing to test Unitedβs resolve with a formal offer remains to be seen.
As it stands, Β£30 million will not be enough, but Chelseaβs interest adds yet another layer of drama to whatβs already been a wild summer window. β³π₯
