Manchester United want £50million for Chelsea target Alejandro Garnacho
United boss Ruben Amorim reportedly told Garnacho in the days after the defeat in Bilbao that he will 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.
A post shared by Alex Garnacho (@garnacho7)
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.

Fans spot Liam Delap's telling reaction and say the same thing after Chelsea striker watched Joao Pedro's goal in win over Bayer Leverkusen
Footage of Liam Delap reacting to Joao Pedro's goal in Chelsea 's friendly victory over Bayer Leverkusen has caused quite the stir on social media. Enzo Maresca 's side cruised to a dominant 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Friday after wonderkid Estevao scored on his electric debut and Pedro added the second. All eyes were on Estevao after he tapped home when Cole Palmer 's effort cracked against the woodwork, but attention shifted to fellow new boy Pedro late in the second half, the substitute having doubled the Blues' lead on 90 minutes. Pedro was introduced in place of Delap, who was unable to find the back of the net. The frontman, signed from Ipswich this summer, was given his first home start and recorded two efforts on target. Just his second touch of the game saw him test goalkeeper Mark Flekken, who later spread himself to deny Delap in style. Pedro then showed the £30million man how it was done, composing himself inside the penalty area before coolly picking out the bottom left corner. Look at Delap's reaction😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 — CherkiSharingan (@pureballersonly) August 8, 2025 Chelsea fans spotted Liam Delap's reaction to Joao Pedro's goal against Bayer Leverkusen Delap was given his first start at Stamford Bridge but couldn't convert his two big chances Delap's subsequent reaction on the bench was caught on camera, and social media users were quick to have their say, insisting he was already regretting the move. 'Yeah, he's like, "Damn, it will take a little while,' said one user. Another added: 'He's starting to regret his decision already.' A third said: 'Guy knows he's second choice already.' However, other supporters believe Delap was right to remain stony-faced. 'Rather that than him cheesing,' added another. 'Knows he needs to step it up.' A fifth user agreed, saying: 'This is what we want, healthy competition in positions.' Delap elected to move to Stamford Bridge despite interest from both Manchester United and Newcastle, and signed a lucrative six-year contract. After scoring 12 goals in his 37 top-flight appearances last season, he was recruited to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson. However, it has since emerged that Jackson will look to leave this summer. As exclusively reported by Daily Mail Sport, Jackson was left out of the squad at Stamford Bridge and the club are now helping him secure a move away. We can also reveal Jackson trained solo at Cobham on Friday while everyone else's focus was on their 7pm clash with Bundesliga giants Leverkusen. It comes with the Senegal international having officially told the club's hierarchy that he is keen to explore a transfer elsewhere this month. Chelsea are currently in talks with clubs from the Premier League and in Europe and will sanction a sale if they deem it to be in the club's best interests.

'It's a gamble' - Joe Cole worried about 'maverick' Man Utd summer signing
Joe Cole fears Manchester United could be taking a gamble with Matheus Cunha as he expressed reservations about the Brazilian's attitude. The Red Devils moved quickly at the start of the transfer window to trigger Cunha's £62.5million release clause at Wolves, with the 26-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-year contract at Old Trafford. Cunha enjoyed an excellent season at Molineux last season, racking up 15 goals and six assists in the Premier League, and there are hopes he can replicate such form to help transform Ruben Amorim's misfiring attack. In that effort the Brazilian has been joined by Bryan Mbeumo, who signed from Brentford, while a deal for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko is expected to be announced in the coming days. But while full of praise for Cunha's talents with the ball at his feet, former Chelsea and England winger Cole fears that the Brazilian's maverick tendencies may not be helpful behind the scenes at Old Trafford. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – sign up, it's an open goal. 'The thing that worries me about Cunha – he's a brilliant player, wonderful goalscorer and can do everything – but you do hear things about his attitude,' Cole told TNT Sports. 'I wouldn't want to say he is a bad lad because I wouldn't want to say that, but he's a bit of a maverick and I've heard people talk about him like that. 'The last thing that United dressing room needs is another maverick, there are mavericks everywhere putting stuff up on social media and all that. 'You hear too much coming out of that dressing room so it's a gamble with Cunha.' Not everyone has those reservations, however, with Amorim full of praise for the impact that Cunha has already had upon the United squad in pre-season. More Trending 'He's a loud guy that's really important in this moment. When he's upset, you can feel it in the environment and that's good,' he said earlier this month. 'When you play some games and he loses, he's a different guy, and that's good. 'He has some characteristics that we miss last season, so I'm really happy with him and the other guys.' United bring their pre-season to a close on Saturday when they host Italian side Fiorentina at Old Trafford. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
