“I don’t see” – Pat Nevin reveals why reported Chelsea target isn’t right fit for the club | OneFootball

Former Chelsea player Pat Nevin doesn’t believe Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho would be be a good fit for the Blues.

Chelsea have been busy this summer and have already made four signings in Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

The Blues aren’t done there and are looking to sign Xavi Simons, with the club still locked in negotiations with RB Leipzig.

Nevin not convinced on Garnacho and Chelsea

Chelsea are believed to want eight or nine attacking options to rotate between next season as they prepare to return to the Champions League.

If the signing of Simons gets completed, the Dutchman might not be the last attacker to arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer.

Chelsea have continued to be linked with Garnacho, and the expectation is the Blues will make an offer for the 21-year-old this month.

Garancho is believed to have prioritised a move to Chelsea this summer, whilst personal terms aren’t expected to a problem.

Chelsea reportedly don’t want to pay more than £30m, whilst a move has certainly divided Chelsea fans, and Nevin has now shared his thoughts.

“I don’t see Alejandro Garnacho as a great fit at Chelsea,” he said as quoted on X.com.

“Chelsea might do it to make money, but is he going to come and light up Chelsea more than Pedro Neto, whose professional attitude, his work rate he’s given for the team has been absolutely fantastic?”

Chelsea value Simons at £50m

A move for Garnacho is unlikely to happen until Chelsea have wrapped up a deal for Simons, with negotiations believed to be at an advanced stage.

Simons has made it clear he wants to join Chelsea, whilst personal terms are thought to almost be agreed with the 22-year-old.

Leipzig reportedly want a total package of £60m, but it’s said Chelsea value Simons at around £50m, and they are yet to submit an official offer, with the Dutch international unlikely to play much part in Chelsea’s short pre-season.
