With the transfer window closing on February 3rd, Chelsea are actively pursuing attacking reinforcements. Following Mykhailo Mudryk’s suspension and Nkunku’s potential exit to Bayern Munich or Manchester United, the Blues are keen to bring in Garnacho. The Argentine winger, who has been linked with a move throughout January, had a £42m bid from Napoli rejected. Now, Chelsea plan to make a formal offer in the coming hours. United will reportedly demand around £80m for Garnacho, and Chelsea may have funds available if Nkunku is sold.
