Two reasons why Garnacho won’t join Chelsea

Argentine Alejandro Garnacho, the Manchester United player, has decided on his next destination if he leaves Old Trafford, according to press reports.

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on his X account on Sunday: “Alejandro Garnacho has prioritized Chelsea, and negotiations have already taken place with the player.”

He added: “However, there are no negotiations with Manchester United yet, as the price will be the deciding factor in completing this deal. The Garnacho deal is not expected to be completed soon, and it will take some time for two reasons: Chelsea’s management is currently focused on the issue of players leaving the club, as well as completing the contract with Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons from Leipzig.”

Garnacho is racing against time to leave the Red Devils, given that his relationship with Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has reached a dead end.
