Chelsea want €80m technical wizard but Man United could break their hearts | OneFootball

Chelsea are looking to sign the Spanish attacker Ander Barrenetxea.

The 24-year-old has done quite well for Real Sociedad this season, and Chelsea are hoping to secure his signature in the summer. He could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the London club.

Barrenetxea is a left-sided winger with four goals and five assists this season.

They need greater technical ability in the final third, and they are preparing a proposal for a vote of around €80 million. The Spanish outfit will not want to sell a key player like Barrenetxea, but the €80 million offer will be difficult to turn down. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea submits an official offer to get the deal done.

According to reports from Spain, Manchester United are also closely monitoring the player. The 24-year-old has extensive experience in La Liga and the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League as well. He will help create opportunities for both teams.

Chelsea needs an upgrade on Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens. Both players have been underwhelming this season.

The 24-year-old Spanish attacker could be tempted to join them. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly.

Manchester United have secured Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they have an ambitious project. However, there is no guarantee the 24-year-old will start regularly. They have already invested in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Barrenetxea will want to play regularly and move through. Chelsea might be best suited for him. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
