Chelsea Still Eyeing Garnacho Move as Sancho and Nkunku Face Uncertain Futures

Despite missing out on Alejandro Garnacho during the January 2025 transfer window, Chelsea haven’t given up hope of bringing the Argentine winger to Stamford Bridge. Sources close to the club indicate that the Blues are still monitoring his situation closely as summer negotiations heat up, link live 90Phut TV.

Garnacho’s Uncertain Standing at Manchester United

Under former manager Erik ten Hag, Garnacho emerged as a key figure at Manchester United. However, since Rúben Amorim took charge, his influence has noticeably declined. Garnacho was left out of the starting XI in the Europa League final, where United fell 0-1 to Tottenham, and only featured for 19 minutes off the bench.

According to reports from the Express, Garnacho’s representatives are scheduled to meet with United’s board in the coming days to discuss a potential transfer this summer. The Sun claims that United are open to selling Garnacho—alongside midfielder Kobbie Mainoo—as part of a broader rebuild, with a £45 million valuation placed on the winger.

Chelsea, along with Napoli, had shown strong interest in Garnacho during the winter window but were unsuccessful in luring him away. This time, however, the London side seems determined to make a serious push.

Sancho and Nkunku: Pushed Toward the Exit?

The pursuit of Garnacho could have direct implications for Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku, both of whom are already struggling to cement their places in the Chelsea lineup.

Sancho joined Chelsea on loan from United and was once seen as a long-term solution. But inconsistency in form has made the Blues reconsider a permanent move. According to sources, Chelsea are prepared to cancel the buy clause by paying a £5 million compensation to United.

Nkunku, meanwhile, has had a difficult season plagued by injuries and limited starts. The French forward has featured in only 9 Premier League matches, recording 3 goals and 2 assists. Rumors have linked him with a potential switch to Arsenal, who reportedly made contact in April.

Both players prefer operating on the left wing—Garnacho’s primary position. Should the Argentine arrive, it would likely accelerate their departures.
