Enzo Maresca, Chelsea boss, discusses Alejandro Garnacho’s arrival | OneFootball

During Thursday afternoon, it emerged that Manchester United accepted Chelsea's offer for Alejandro Garnacho, and only details remain for his transfer to be officially announced. Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca, the Blues' coach, has already spoken about the incorporation of the Argentine forward.

In the press conference before the clash against Fulham, the London team's coach was asked about the "Bichito" and did not hold back. "I know he is already around the club. What is clear is that his position is that of a winger, and I see him as a winger," asserted the Italian.

Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in transfer markets, reported that the institutions agreed on the transfer. The Blues will pay around 40 million pounds for the young star of the Red Devils. The only hurdle was that Chelsea wanted to offload an attacker first. While they are looking for an exit for Nico Jackson, who is wanted by Bayern Munich, Christopher Nkunku found a way out and will play in Milan.

Garnacho's departure from Manchester United comes after a tense relationship with his coach, Rúben Amorim, with whom the relationship completely broke down at the end of the last season, with strong cross-statements. The Argentine was removed from the professional squad, began looking for a new destination, and the Blues were always on his mind. "Sell me to Chelsea or I'll stay here without playing for the next 6 or 12 months," he reportedly told United's management, according to European media.
