Manchester United want €58 million for Alejandro Garnacho
MANCHESTER UNITED want £50 million (€58 million) for Chelsea target Alejandro Garnacho, the PA news agency understands. The 21-year-old's future has appeared to be away from Old Trafford since the winger, like his brother Roberto, on Instagram, expressed frustration at starting May's Europa League final loss to Tottenham on the bench. Advertisement United boss Ruben Amorim reportedly told Garnacho in the days after the defeat in Bilbao that he would be allowed to leave, and the Argentina international has spent pre-season training away from the first team. Chelsea were linked with a move in January and are thought to have been in dialogue this summer, with the Red Devils understood to be seeking a £50m fee for the academy graduate. Garnacho was omitted from United's pre-season tour to the United States, where head coach Amorim said last week: 'You can see he's a really talented boy. 'Sometimes things don't work out. You cannot explain specifically what it is, but it's clear that Garnacho wants a different thing with a different leadership. I can understand that. It's not a problem. 'Sometimes (as a player) you adapt to one guy, you have the connection. Other times, you want a new challenge.' Garnacho joined from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and starred in United's 2022 FA Youth Cup win, before scoring in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City two years later. He has scored 26 goals in 144 first-team appearances.

Bully Boy lost his place in this year's Premier League, while he has also fallen out of the world's top 20. Last month Smith even failed to qualify for the World Matchplay in Blackpool. And he was recently forced to undergo blood tests amid ongoing health issues.

Smith opened up about his condition while speaking to Sky Sports in February. Bully Boy said: "I've had it for a few years now. It was always when it was winter so I thought it was just the cold affecting it. "But it just keeps getting worse and worse. My wrist will start swelling up and the constant pain where I can't bend it so it is getting a bit difficult." Quizzed if he ever suspected that his problems stemmed from arthritis, he said: "It was there because I broke both my wrists when I was 19 so it was going to catch up with me eventually. I think it has now."

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca opens up on heartbreak of losing team-mate at 22 in death that shocked footballing world
Maresca revealed the one item he'd love to share with tragic pal ENZO'S PAIN Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca opens up on heartbreak of losing team-mate at 22 in death that shocked footballing world CHELSEA boss Enzo Maresca loves to celebrate with a cigar - but more than anything he wishes he could have a smoke with a team-mate who died in horrific circumstances. Maresca has enjoyed plenty of recent success, guiding the Blues to glory in the Conference League and Club World Cup. Advertisement 5 Enzo Maresca has opened up on the heartbreaking loss of Antonio Puerta Credit: Getty 5 The pair played together at Sevilla and Maresca would love to share a cigar with his pal Credit: EPA After the latter, the Blues boss enjoyed one of his favourite Portagas 2 cigars, the brand he used to smoke with Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola when they were marking City's success. But when Maresca was asked to name the football personality he would most like to one of his favourite Portagas No 2 cigars with, the Italian gave a poignant answer - Antonio Puerta, who died aged 22 after suffering a cardiac arrest on the field. Maresca told Men in Blazers: 'That's a very good question. I will tell you, when I was 25, 26, I lost a team-mate inside the pitch. So if I could, I would like a cigar with him.' Midfielder Maresca had four seasons at Sevilla but his third campaign started in tragic fashion. Advertisement The Italian was on the field when, just 35 minutes into the opening game of the 2007/8 season - at home against Getafe - Puerta suffered a cardiac arrest. After the wing-back collapsed and lost consciousness in the penalty area, team-mates and medical staff rushed to his aid. Puerta recovered enough to walk to the dressing room but collapsed again there. He was resuscitated and rushed to hospital, where he had to receive more life-saving resuscitation. Advertisement But Puerta died three days later, on August 28, because of multiple organ failure and irreversible brain damage. It emerged that he had an incurable hereditary heart disease called arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

His girlfriend was expecting their first child at the time of his death. When Puerta passed away, Maresca and the rest of the Seville squad were already in Greece for a Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens. Advertisement Maresca, who played for Greek side Olympiakos later in his career, spoke about the tragedy when Chelsea went to Athens in October 2024 for a Conference League game against Panathinaikos. Maresca said: 'In terms of the season I spent here in Greece, for me it was very good with Olympiakos, a big rival with Panathinaikos. But unfortunately I lost a friend on the pitch when I was at Seville. 'The first game we played after that, we were already in Athens and just on that day, one of our team-mates passed away in Antonio Puerta. 'So it is a mixed feeling. The season in Athens was fantastic. But every time I come back here I am a little bit sad.' Advertisement The Champions League game against AEK, which had been scheduled for the evening of the day Puerta died, was postponed. When Sevilla faced AC Milan in the Uefa Super Cup on August 31, all 22 players had the name Puerta on the back of their shirts. Sergio Ramos, who had come through the Sevilla academy and into the first team with Puerta, wore T-shirts in memory of Puerta after Spain's triumphs at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. Jesus Navas, who was on the field on the day Puerta collapse, made the same gesture after the 2010 World Cup final. Advertisement In 2010, Sevilla unveiled a statue of Puerta at their training ground. Watch the full Men in Blazers interview with Enzo Maresca here.
