Ruben Amorim Breaks Silence on Chelsea’s Interest in Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho
Chelsea is reportedly eyeing Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho as they look to bolster their squad. The 13-time English champions are considering offloading the Argentine star to generate funds following a dip in form this season.
The 20-year-old, who has started four matches under manager Ruben Amorim, has also drawn interest from Serie A leaders Napoli. Garnacho has been a standout performer for Manchester United this season and remains one of their top scorers.
Speculation about Garnacho’s future intensified, prompting Ruben Amorim to address the rumors during a press conference ahead of their clash with Rangers.
Chelsea Eye Alejandro Garnacho as Napoli Also Express Interest
Chelsea has reportedly set its sights on Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, according to Football London. The Blues are actively searching for reinforcements on the left wing to strengthen their squad. Meanwhile, Serie A leaders Napoli have identified the 20-year-old Argentine as their top target to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Despite the growing interest, Manchester United has yet to decide on Garnacho’s future. It remains unclear if the Red Devils are ready to part ways with their young star. Transfermarkt currently values Garnacho at €50 million, but the decision may hinge on whether United sees him as a long-term asset or an opportunity to raise funds.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Garnacho’s representatives were spotted at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Wolves on Monday, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Despite already boasting options like Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke, and Mykhailo Mudryk, Chelsea continues to explore alternatives for their left flank, according to Four Four Two.
The race for Garnacho’s signature is heating up, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea or Napoli will secure the highly-rated winger before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea continues to explore potential reinforcements, with reports linking them not only to Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho but also to Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Mathys Tel. As Enzo Maresca’s side battles for a Champions League spot, speculation about Garnacho’s future has gained momentum.
Amorim Addresses Garnacho Transfer Rumors
Speaking on Wednesday, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim addressed the ongoing rumors about Garnacho’s future. However, he refrained from giving a definitive response to the speculation.
“As I understand the question, let’s focus on the game,” Amorim remarked during his press conference, as reported by Football London. “I don’t want to talk about that, especially before a game. Our focus is on ensuring our players perform well. We need to improve, win games, and build momentum—let’s concentrate on that.”
Garnacho’s Role Under Amorim
The Argentine winger has made 14 appearances under Amorim this season, netting just one goal. Despite his potential, Garnacho has struggled to fit into Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, starting only four matches so far. Both Garnacho and Marcus Rashford were dropped from the squad last month but were later reinstated.
With Garnacho reportedly on the radar of Chelsea and other top clubs, his future at Manchester United remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Amorim’s focus is firmly on improving his team’s performances and securing key victories in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
