Chelsea are reportedly working on a deal to bring Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United to Stamford Bridge, with hopes of securing the winger for around £35 million. United had initially valued the 21-year-old at £70m earlier in the summer but are now said to be willing to accept closer to £50m.

Garnacho’s apparent refusal to entertain other offers undoubtedly works in Chelsea’s favour. United have already settled for a loan exit for Marcus Rashford and may be forced to lower their demands to raise funds after spending over £200 million on the attacking trio of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško.

Manchester United fans have defaced a mural of Alejandro Garnacho as the outcast continues to push for a move to Chelsea this summer.
