Chelsea are reportedly forced to spend time trying to bring Alejandro Garnacho to Stamford Bridge. The Winger has emerged as the top target for the blues and wants to add more quality at the top of the pitch. He is for sale by the Red Devils after his breakdown in relations with Reuben Amorim.
The pair have not been able to see their eyes since the United boss arrived from the sport. It is clear that Garnacho is no longer in his plan. He is believed to support the idea of a move towards Chelsea, which has been linked to his signature for several months. However, forwards are reportedly required to wait for other transactions to close first.
According to the Telegraph, Chelsea is unlikely to sign Garnacho until United finishes searching for a new striker. They are currently discussing with RB Leipzig about the moves of Benjamin Sesco being pursued by Newcastle.
It has been reported that a unified delegation has been sent to Germany with the aim of finding a breakthrough in cooperation. Sesco is said to be keen on moving to Old Trafford, and reportedly would choose United if it was a straightforward choice between them and Newcastle.
Chelsea also need to create a sales or loan player to create space for more forwards to arrive. Mark Giu has agreed to lend it to Sunderland to join, but Tirique George is expected to temporarily leave Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, things like Christopher Nucank and Armando Broja reportedly were assigned for permanent exits. Chelsea hopes things start to fall into place so that things can accelerate Garnacho’s pursuit.
The report adds that Chelsea has performed many background checks on the winger’s personality and personality. They are said to be satisfied with the results of those checks, paving the way for them to make a deal.
However, the proposed move is said to be dependent on several other relocations, so it could take some time before the Bruce truly strengthens their interest.
United have made it clear that they will not sell Garnacho unless their demands are met. ESPN recently claimed that the Red Devils had settled on a price tag of around £40 million, previously valuing nearly £700 million.
Last month, Reuben Amorim, who was quized on futures for Garnacho and other United outcasts, insisted that the club’s chief would not consider the lowball offer.
He states: “I know the facts of Omar (Belada, CEO) and Jason (Football Director Wilcox), and there are a number of these players in the club.
“If they (the clubs of interest) don’t get to that, they’ll be Manchester United players. There’s no doubt about that. Other clubs may be waiting for the last minute, but they’re surprised.”
