Alejandro Garnacho keen on surprise Premier League switch
With the Bryan Mbeumo deal now sealed, Manchester United's focus has now shifted to player sales. Marcus Rashford has already earned a loan move to Barcelona, while Jadon Sancho seems to be inching closer to Juventus. Both those deals will not net the Red Devils a huge amount, with Alejandro Garnacho earmarked as the biggest sale this window. Unlike his fellow forwards, the Argentine is keen to stay in the Premier League and he has already turned down a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, where he was offered the chance to reunite with idol Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Napoli, Atletico Madrid were also linked with a move, but the United No.17 is hoping to stay in England with Chelsea long-term admirers. Garnacho wants PL stay But so far, the Blues have yet to submit a concrete proposal, while Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a move. Aston Villa are the latest entrants, with recent reports suggesting Unai Emery's side could offer a loan deal, something the 20-time English league champions are likely to reject. TBR Football have claimed the Argentina international has done his homework on Villa, and feels Emery can get the best out of him. The Spaniard has a proven track record with young stars, while he also got a tune out of Marcus Rashford last season, which even saw the Mancunian regain his spot in the England national team. 'Garnacho is keen to stay in the Premier League and, attracted by the prospect of working under Unai Emery, would be open to a move to Aston Villa, TBR Football can confirm. 'Alejandro Garnacho wants to stay in England, and there are only so many options. Chelsea, we know, like him, whilst Tottenham have maintained contact. Open to Villa move 'But Aston Villa have emerged as an option, I am told the player has done his homework on the possibility of working with Unai Emery, and he has heard good things. 'Emery knows how to get a tune out of these young talents – we have seen it with the likes of Morgan Rogers, indeed, could Garnacho replace the England man? It is not impossible. 'Villa want to make some impact on the market this summer, and Garnacho could be just that for them.' Alejandro Garnacho was even spotted wearing a Villa kit, not too long ago, and he could soon follow in Rashford's footsteps. However, a lot will depend on the kind of deal the Birmingham side end up offering. They are not in the best position, financially, but with United's eyes on Emiliano Martinez, a cash-plus player deal could be on the cards.

Why Chelsea are willing to bide their time in Alejandro Garnacho transfer pursuit despite competition from Napoli
Chelsea willing to wait for Garnacho Want United to reduce their valuation of the winger United eye move for Chelsea's Jackson Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? According to The i Paper, after Rashford's departure, United will now act swiftly to get rid of their other four wantaways, namely Antony, Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia. Garnacho has attracted strong interest from Napoli and Chelsea, although the report claims that the Blues are willing to wait for United to drop their £60 million ($80m) valuation of the winger, as they consider even £50m ($67m) to be too high for the Argentine. THE BIGGER PICTURE The Red Devils, who are looking for a new striker, could turn their attention towards Blues frontman Nicolas Jackson. With Liam Delap set to start regularly under Enzo Maresca, Jackson could consider leaving, but Chelsea are likely to hold out for £60m for the striker. United could even consider a swap deal by including Garnacho. DID YOU KNOW? Other than the Blues and Napoli, Premier League sides Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are also reportedly keen on signing Garnacho this summer. WHAT NEXT FOR GARNACHO? Like Rashford, the Argentina international will hope to find a new home soon so that he can start afresh somewhere away from Old Trafford with the 2025-26 campaign already fast approaching.

'Not my problem' - Man Utd star reacts to Alejandro Garnacho's exile
Amad Diallo gave a brutally honest answer when asked about the futures of his Manchester United teammates Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford. Garnacho and Rashford are among the five players Ruben Amorim has exiled from the first-team and told to leave the club. Fellow forwards Antony and Jadon Sancho and left-back Tyrell Malacia complete the 'bomb-squad', though United are struggling to find buyers for them. That was until Saturday, when it was reported that Barcelona were closing in on a deal to sign Rashford on loan with the option to buy, with the England international desperate to seal the move. The news broke during United's first pre-season friendly of the summer – a drab goalless draw with Leeds United in Stockholm – where Amad played the first 45 minutes. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. Speaking in the mixed zone after the match, the Ivory Coast star was asked about Rashford's impending departure but did not want to be pressed on the matter. 'The only thing I can say is good luck to him, but I'm more focused on United and my team.' Amad is especially close to Garnacho, with the duo at one stage tipped to be the future of the Red Devils' attack, but the latter will almost certainly leave Old Trafford this summer after falling out with Amorim. There is much interest in the winger from the likes of Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham but with no offers as of yet, United may have to further slash his asking price. Asked about Garnacho's predicament, Amad showed little interest, saying: 'I think this is not really my problem. The only thing I'm thinking right now is how we will learn together as a team.' The 23-year-old was more open about his new teammate Matheus Cunha who impressed on his unofficial debut, a bright spark in an otherwise dreary match. More Trending 'He's a good player – we need good players in the team and he'll bring a lot to the team. I hope he can give us some different things. 'Especially last season, we missed a lot of good players in the final third. He scored a lot of goals last season, so I just wish him all the best.' United's pre-season continues State-side as they take on West Ham next Sunday in New Jersey. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Man Utd can complete dream Ruben Amorim transfer in audacious Alejandro Garnacho swap deal
Manchester United are still looking to bolster their squad before the summer transfer window slams shut, but they also need to offload some deadwood, including Alejandro Garnacho Manchester United have plenty more still to do before the summer transfer window shuts in September. The Red Devils' main challenge this summer appears to be offloading players, with no departures from their squad as of yet. Marcus Rashford, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho are all deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, but none are nearing an exit at present. Garnacho has been one of the United players training alone in pre-season after being told to find another club by head coach Ruben Amorim, having fallen out with the Portuguese multiple times over the past nine months. The 21-year-old Argentine posted a picture on social media of himself training alone in the gym recently, as well as another image last month of him wearing a Villa jersey with the name of fellow United exile Rashford on the back, which is unlikely to have done him any favours. Having been linked with Chelsea and Napoli already, Aston Villa are reportedly the latest club showing interest in United's Garnacho. The Red Devils previously slapped a £70million price tag on Garnacho, but securing that sum may prove difficult given the public fallout surrounding the winger's situation at United. Such a hefty fee is also a big ask for a player who has yet to fully realise his potential. His tally of 11 goals across all competitions last season hardly warrants a £70m valuation, although any fee would provide pure profit for the club under profit and sustainability rules. Now, the Manchester Evening News has provided a potential solution by suggesting a swap deal, which would see United target Ollie Watkins go the opposite way. The Reds are in dire need of a striker and Watkins' Premier League experience, a key factor for Ineos, makes him a great fit. Many United fans might scoff at the idea of signing 29-year-old Watkins, particularly with Arsenal closing in on Viktor Gyokeres and Liverpool potentially bringing in Hugo Ekitike. However, the Reds have no European football and are set for another transition season. He may not take United to their ultimate aim of a league title or Champions League win, but he's an ideal short-term solution given their current situation. If they can simultaneously offload one of their unneeded stars, United might seriously consider this deal. The real question is whether Watkins himself is keen on the move, but the interest shown by other top talents this summer in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo suggests that the Reds still have some allure. And Watkins could very well be the next to join their ranks.

Man United lining up another potential swap deal with Chelsea?
Manchester United Chelsea both are in need of new players in this summer transfer window. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 17, 2025, 18:52 IST Manchester United Chelsea both are in need of new players in this summer transfer window. Chelsea are in need of a winger and Man United want a new striker this summer. There are reports suggesting that both could do a favor to each other by selling out their players. Garnacho who has decided to leave the club could be given to Chelsea in exchage of Nicolas Jackson. Jackson is also expected to leave this summer. With talks with AC Milan now collapsed, United could go for this deal. However, this swap deal looks very unrealistic at this moment and there's no stringent backing on this reports. With the summer transfer window in full swing, both Manchester United and Chelsea are actively looking to strengthen their squads. The Red Devils are reportedly on the hunt for a new striker, while Chelsea remain in desperate need of a winger. Recent reports have sparked speculation about a potential swap deal between the two Premier League giants involving Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson. Garnacho, who has reportedly decided to leave Manchester United, could be offered to Chelsea in exchange for Jackson, who is also expected to exit Stamford Bridge this summer. Manchester United had previously held talks with AC Milan regarding attacking options, but those discussions have now reportedly collapsed. That has opened the door to alternative possibilities, including this eyebrow-raising player exchange.
