Chelsea Lodge €75m Bid for United’s Alejandro Garnacho
According to express.co.uk, the Blues have prepared a €75 million offer
As the 2024–25 campaign winds down, Chelsea FC are already plotting a statement signing to secure their Champions League ambitions—and they’ve set their sights squarely on Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United.
Chelsea’s Champions League Gamble
With three games remaining, Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League—just outside the top four. Fearing another season without Europe’s elite competition, the board have green-lit a summer splurge.
“We need players who can win big matches,” says a senior Chelsea director. “Garnacho has the talent and mentality to thrive at Stamford Bridge.”

Garnacho’s Meteoric Rise
Since his breakthrough two seasons ago, Garnacho has become a fan favourite at Old Trafford. In 54 appearances this term, he’s contributed 11 goals and 10 assists, showcasing blistering pace and end product. His stock rose further after starring in pivotal matches against top-six rivals.
Gigantic Price Tag and Negotiations
Manchester United value Garnacho at €75 million, reflecting his extraordinary potential. Chelsea’s willingness to meet that fee marks a dramatic shift after failing to land the winger in previous windows. United manager Ruben Amorim, having integrated Garnacho into his long-term plans, faces a tough call should the bid arrive.
Transfermarkt currently rates Garnacho at €45 million, underscoring the premium United are demanding. With his contract running until 2028, the Red Devils are in no rush to sell—but a guaranteed top-four finish for Chelsea could tilt negotiations.
Financial and Sporting Implications
A successful deal would represent Chelsea’s biggest outlay since their 2022 spending spree. Financed by commercial growth and Champions League revenue, the move signals Maresca’s intent: to blend youth and experience for a genuine title tilt. Conversely, United would reinvest funds into their own rebuild, targeting midfield reinforcements.
