Fabrizio Romano has reported that a Saudi club has approached Alejandro Garnacho as his transfer to Chelsea stalls.
Saudi club steps in for Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Manchester United looks almost sealed away from Old Trafford. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed a Saudi club has made fresh contact with the player’s camp.
The winger has been frozen out under Ruben Amorim following a messy fallout last season. He missed pre-season and the opening league fixtures as well. Chelsea had been in the driving seat, with personal terms agreed weeks ago. But, the deal has yet to be completed. That delay has left the door slightly open. Saudi sides are now testing the waters with interest of their own.
Despite the approach, Garnacho’s priority remains Stamford Bridge. Romano highlighted that while the Saudi project is tempting, the Argentine is not swayed by the move. The Blues remain confident that the winger will be wearing their shirt before the window closes.
United’s exits pick up speed
Garnacho is not the only name heading for the exit. United are busy selling players in the final stretch of the transfer window. Antony is close to sealing a return to La Liga with Real Betis. Jadon Sancho is also likely to move on, while Tyrell Malacia’s exit is expected soon. For United, it signals the start of Amorim’s rebuild, cutting ties with players who no longer fit his plans.
For Chelsea, snapping up Garnacho would be a big statement. The player brings flair and unpredictability, qualities the Blues have lacked in attack. Saudi clubs continue to cast a shadow over the deal. But, all signs point to the winger sticking to his plan. He wants to swap Manchester for west London only.
Author’s Opinion
Garnacho’s head seems set on Chelsea, and the Saudi offer feels more like background noise than a real threat. If the Blues wrap it up quickly, they’ll land one of the most exciting young wingers in Europe.
