Garnacho price reshapes Chelsea bid

Manchester United aim to move Garnacho this summer with a price tag that could shape Chelsea’s bid.

Garnacho ready for Chelsea move after United set price

Manchester United have signaled that Garnacho could leave this summer and have set an asking price around £50 million for the 20-year-old winger. The Argentina international has appeared 144 times for United, scoring 26 goals and delivering 22 assists, and helped the club lift the FA Cup and the EFL Cup in recent seasons. Garnacho was told to seek a new club in May after reportedly unhappy with a substitute role in the Europa League final.

Chelsea remain interested as they weigh a bid to bolster their attack and broaden their squad under Enzo Maresca. The Blues are exploring options to balance the price, including the potential use of players in deal negotiations, while United and Chelsea continue to discuss how fees fit into both clubs’ plans. The transfer picture is part of a wider web, with Chelsea reportedly weighing deals that involve Xavi Simons and Nkunku, and Leipzig showing interest in Chelsea’s Tyrique George.

Garnacho’s case illustrates how a young player can become a bargaining chip in a crowded market. A price around £50 million signals a clear marker for both sides and could test Chelsea’s willingness to invest in a high-ceiling winger. For United, the move would support a broader rebuild after using Garnacho as a valuable asset both on the pitch and in terms of potential revenue.

The situation also highlights Chelsea’s strategy of balancing quick upgrades with a cautious booking of future liabilities. Offloading before buying, and exploring player-involved swaps, risks setting expectations high among supporters should results take time. Yet it shows a club intent on accelerating a broader squad refresh while keeping financial exposure in check.
