Chelsea are pushing to sign Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and have proposed a swap deal involving two players to seal the transfer to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues, who showed interest in the Argentine winger during the January window, have reignited their pursuit this summer.
Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, have made Garnacho available for transfer after the 21-year-old publicly criticized the manager following United’s Europa League final loss to Tottenham.
Despite lowering their price, United still value Garnacho, with 93 Premier League games and eight Argentina caps, at around £50m, a figure Chelsea are hesitant to pay outright.
Instead, The Athletic reports Chelsea have offered Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku as part of the deal.
Enzo Maresca is open to letting Jackson go after adding strikers João Pedro and Liam Delap from Brighton and Ipswich, respectively.
Meanwhile, Chelsea remain desperate to move Nkunku, who has struggled to find his footing since his £52m transfer from RB Leipzig in 2023.
