Man Utd in Swap Talks with Chelsea, Aston Villa over Garnacho

Manchester United are exploring swap deals involving Alejandro Garnacho as they seek to strengthen their squad with a new centre-forward amid pressure to comply with Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules. Talks have been held with both Chelsea and Aston Villa, with potential exchanges involving Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. However, valuation differences complicate negotiations, particularly with Chelsea, who value Jackson at £80 million but would only offer £30 million for Garnacho. United view Watkins as a reliable Premier League goalscorer and a safer option, but Aston Villa may be reluctant to swap an experienced forward for a younger player still developing. Ruben Amorim is focused on signing players who fit his philosophy immediately, with Garnacho and others like Antony not currently fitting into his system. United are also interested in other positions, including a goalkeeper and a defensive midfielder, while continuing their squad overhaul.
