There reportedly appears to be increasingly noise about Chelsea as soon as once more making a mortgage signing from Manchester United within the type of Alejandro Garnacho.
The Argentina worldwide completed 2024/25 with a report of 11 objectives and 9 assists in all competitions, enjoying in quite a lot of attacking roles.
Garnacho appears most at house on the left wing, however may also play centrally, so might make sense for Chelsea as an excellent improve on struggling performers like Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk.
Jadon Sancho, in the meantime, has simply seen his mortgage spell at Stamford Bridge come to an finish, and it appears Chelsea might strive once more to usher in somebody from Man Utd, in keeping with Simon Phillips.
Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea discuss appears to be rising
Phillips claims Chelsea have a couple of targets in that place, reminiscent of Jamie Gittens and Malick Fofana, however Garnacho’s identify is now arising increasingly.
“Chelsea are additionally new attacking midfielders who can play centrally in addition to vast areas, there’s a perception {that a} couple wingers might arrive nonetheless,” Phillips wrote in his report on Substack.
“Gittens is within the works, there may be curiosity in Malick Fofana of Lyon, and the Alejandro Garnacho noise simply won’t go away.

“SPTC sources have heard that Chelsea have been discussing signing Garnacho on a mortgage to purchase deal, simply as they did with Jadon Sancho. After all, each gamers are Manchester United gamers, so it will not be a deal that might be unfamiliar to both membership and will go well with each if the payment is correct. I’m unsure if it will be a everlasting purchase with an choice to ship him again with a payment, or a straight mortgage with an choice/obligation.
“There’s nothing to counsel that is positively what is going to occur, however it’s one thing that has been mentioned internally at Chelsea ought to they determine to go for Garnacho.”
Alejandro Garnacho appears a dangerous signing for Chelsea
Garnacho might be a brilliant prospect who’s proven loads of potential contemplating he’s nonetheless solely 20 years of age.
However there’s additionally no escaping the truth that he’s been extremely inconsistent together with his performances for United, and shifting to a different large six membership in England might be not what he wants proper now.
Garnacho might in all probability nonetheless have a fantastic profession forward of him, however he’s not somebody who appears prone to are available and hit the bottom operating right away for a workforce like Chelsea.
The Blues want to maneuver their venture ahead, and one other inexperienced and inconsistent participant like this simply appears all mistaken for them proper now.
