target=\"_blank\">Garnacho has been told to leave United<\/a> this summer, but the Argentinian is still on the books as things stand.<\/p>\n<p>Interest has bubbled away over the summer, but United haven\u2019t really come close to securing a sale.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2025\/07\/31\/chelsea-complete-alejandro-garnacho-background-checks\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Telegraph<\/a> now claim that Garnacho has made Chelsea his first choice as he plots a summer move away from United.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are keen on the wide man, and are understood to have run background checks on Garnacho to learn more about his character and personality.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are happy with what they have found so far, and are preparing to make a move for Garnacho\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues are waiting for outgoings before making a firm move for Garnacho, though, with a handful of players available.<\/p>\n<p>Enzo Maresca\u2019s side have taken a step forward in their pursuit of Garnacho, and they appear to have found all the information they need to launch a move in August.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Alejandro Garnacho exchange now looks unlikely<\/p>\n<p>Recent reports suggested that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/alejandro-garnacho-exchange-a-possibility-as-manchester-united-show-interest-in-premier-league-striker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">swap deal involving Garnacho and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson<\/a> was a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson has been bumped down Chelsea\u2019s pecking order and could leave Stamford Bridge this summer.<\/p>\n<p>United have at least weighed up Jackson, but appear to be focusing on signing Sesko as the new centre-forward.<\/p>\n<p>That means any Garnacho move to Chelsea now looks set to be cash rather than a part-exchange deal, with United hoping to bolster Amorim\u2019s transfer budget.<\/p>\n<p>Many United fans still see the potential in Garnacho, and seeing him join a Premier League rival may sting a little if he fulfils his potential over the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Amorim clearly just doesn\u2019t see Garnacho as part of his plans moving forward, and United will hope to cash in sooner rather than later.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho doesn\u2019t appear close to an exit, but he could secure
