The Telegraph detail significant issue as Chelsea look to complete deal for Alejandro Garnacho | OneFootball

Chelsea and Manchester United are some distance apart on their valuation for Alejandro Garnacho according to The Telegraph.

The Blues have been busy this summer and have made four really exciting signings in Jorrel Hato, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap.

However, the Blues aren’t finished there, and they are still looking to add Xavi Simons and Garnacho before the end of the window.

Chelsea and Man United apart on Garnacho valuation

Chelsea were first linked with Garnacho back in January, and those links have continued throughout the summer, and it now very much feels like a case of when rather than if the Argentine joins.

Chelsea are now in conversations with United over a fee, but The Telegraph have reported there’s some distance in valuation between the clubs.

The report states Chelsea value Garnacho at around £30m, and are using a lower bid from Bayer Leverkusen in January as their benchmark.

United reportedly want £50m for Garnacho, who’s made it clear he only wants to join Chelsea this summer, and it feels like this could go right up to the final days of the window.

If Garnacho does join then he will likely compete with Gittens for the left wing spot, and the Argentina international scored 11 goals and registered ten assists in 58 games in all competitions last season.

Still no breakthrough in Xavi Simons deal

Whilst there’s a feeling Garnacho will happen, it feels like there’s now less confidence that a deal for Simons will happen.

Chelsea are still locked in negotiations with RB Leipzig, but as of yet no official offer has been made, although Simons is keen on the move.

Leipzig are said to want a total package of £60m, but Chelsea reportedly want to try and agree a fee of around £50m, and there’s a worry Manchester City could try and hijack the deal.
