Wow: Man Utd star set to leave ‘this weekend’ to make way for £50m prodigee | OneFootball

Manchester United are reportedly looking to offload Alejandro Garnacho as they vigorously pursue Matthys Tel.

The Argentine’s future has been a topic of great debate throughout the month, as he’s been linked with moves to Napoli and Chelsea. The Serie A leaders are searching the market for a new left winger after parting ways with PSG new boy Khvicha Kvratskhelia. But while the two clubs sat on the table last week, they couldn’t bridge the gap between them.

On the other hand, the Blues have yet to make a concrete approach for the 20-year-old, but they’ve been monitoring the situation closely according to several reports. Moreover, the player’s agent made an appearance at Stamford Bridge last week, which surely didn’t go unnoticed.

For their part, United wouldn’t mind offloading the player for the right price, especially now with Tel available on the market. The Red Devils are currently embroiled in a tight race for the 19-year-old striker who asked to leave Bayern Munich amidst the lack of playing.

But while Sky Sports Germany claims Tottenham have the upper hand in the race, The Independent suggests Man Utd could be the favourites, especially if they manage to fund the operation by offloading Garnacho.

The source even claims that those close to the winger have revealed that he’s expecting to pack his bags and leave Old Trafford this weekend, even though his destination remains unclear. The newspaper thus envisions a potential tug-of-war between Napoli and Chelsea.

Reports from Italy continue to link the Partenopei with the Argentina international, with some expecting new rounds of negotiations to ensue in the coming hours. Moreover, many sources in England believe Chelsea are plotting an onslaught at the eleventh hour.

Needless to say, this saga appears to be heading all the way to the wire.
