Man Utd star’s agent fuels transfer speculation with brazen social media post | OneFootball

Alejandro Garnacho’s agent is in attendance at Stamford Bridge this evening after rumours of Chelsea targeting his player.

Indeed, the Blues have joined Napoli in establishing their interest in the Manchester United starlet, though only the latter has materialised their interest by submitting a bid.

Napoli tested United’s resolve with an opening £40 million proposal last week but saw their offer swiftly rebuffed due to it not meeting the Reds’ valuation, which is believed to be in the region of £60m.

Reports have suggested the Serie A leaders will return with an improved figure through bonuses in hopes of twisting Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s arm into sanctioning the exit of one of the club’s hottest prospects.

As he is a graduate of Carrington, having joined in a £420,000 deal from Atletico Madrid in 2020, any fee United recuperates will be pure profit – therefore aiding their quest to stay within the league’s financial limitations.

Now, his agent has just added fuel to the fire by sharing a snap of him watching Chelsea in action against Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight, seemingly gauging what could well be Garnacho’s new surroundings if the London outfit steps up their pursuit before the window closes.

The 20-year-old has started only four of 11 Premier League games since Ruben Amorim’s tenure got underway in November, yet does boast a respectable record of eight goals and five assists in 32 appearances this campaign.

Losing Garnacho in the next fortnight would undoubtedly force the board’s hand into seeking attacking reinforcements, as Antony is also on his way out of Old Trafford after agreeing a loan move to Real Betis.
