Garnacho priced at 2/5 for Chelsea move as Blues step up pursuit
Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho is now priced at 2/5 with bookmakers to transfer to Premier League rivals Chelsea this summer.
The 21-year-old Argentine international has long been the subject of interest from several clubs throughout the summer. It now appears that some clarity has been given over his future, with Chelsea keen to sign him on a permanent deal.
The FIFA Club World Cup champions have already spent over £260 million on new players this off-season. Players coming in through the front door at Stamford Bridge include Liam Delap from Ipswich, Dario Essugo from Sporting CP, Joao Pedro from Brighton, Jorrel Hato from Ajax, and Estevao Willian from Palmeiras. It is now hoped Garnacho will be added to those arrivals.
It is thought that United are demanding more than £40 million for the sale of Garnacho. However, speculation that highly rated RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko could be set for a move to Old Trafford could prompt the Red Devils to consider offloading Garnacho for a lower fee.
United gaffer Ruben Amorim is keen to add more faces to his squad before the new top-flight season begins. The club have only secured the signings of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, and Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno.
News reports have linked the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League finalists with a move for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, as well as striker Sesko. It seems inevitable that Amorim will want to add even more players before transfer deadline day.
The potential signing of Garnacho is almost certain to have an impact on Chelsea's odds of winning the Premier League title this season. Enzo Maresca's men are currently listed as the 10/1 fourth favourites with Priced Up to finish the season as league champions.
Liverpool remain the 7/4 favourites, Arsenal are second in the betting markets at 12/5, and Manchester City sit in third at odds of 3/1.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are stillconsidered outsiders at 28/1, despite their summer spending spree.
