Chelsea’s interest in Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has gained momentum following Napoli’s pivot to Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi. Garnacho, whose playing style clashes with United’s system under Ruben Amorim, is valued at €50 million, with Chelsea now poised to capitalize on the situation. The Argentine winger has reportedly prioritized staying in the Premier League, and his agents were present at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s recent win over Wolves.
