Garnacho himself is keen to join Chelsea. This was his top priority in January, and he remains eager to complete the transfer this summer.
As mentioned a few weeks ago, Chelsea are considering making a bid for Garnacho later this month... Although foreign clubs have also made offers for him, he is still waiting for a priority offer from Chelsea.
Garnacho is desperate to join Stamford Bridge, but Manchester United are demanding a transfer fee of at least £40 million. It seems inevitable that Garnacho will leave Manchester United this summer, yet the Argentine star is not short of suitors. Chelsea has long kept an eye on him and even added him to their shortlist back in January this year.
Within Chelsea, it is believed that apart from Jittens, who has already joined, and the potential arrival of Simons, the Blues have almost no other reliable left winger options. Mudryk is currently unavailable for selection due to alleged doping violations; the club has opted not to make Sancho's loan move permanent, while promising young talent George is likely to be loaned out.
For Garnacho, Aston Villa remains a possible option, but if Manchester United are interested in a swap deal involving Jackson, the possibility of his move to Chelsea would increase.
The Red Devils have identified two main target centre-forwards: Watkins and Leipzig striker Šeško. They have already opened talks with Šeško. However, if they miss out on both players, they may turn their attention to
Chelsea forward Jackson, whose situation has been under monitoring by Manchester United.
Manchester United have not pushed forward with the deal due to the Senegalese international's valuation of as much as £80 million, but this series of events could prompt them to demand a discounted swap of Jackson for Garnacho.
