Chelsea pursues Garnacho amid transfer deadline pressure

Chelsea is making a late push to sign Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho before the transfer window closes, with Napoli also interested in the 20-year-old. United's new head coach, Ruben Amorim, has indicated that while Garnacho is improving, the club is open to a sale to help meet financial regulations. Chelsea is prepared to wait until the deadline to negotiate, potentially involving a swap with forward Christopher Nkunku to lower the transfer fee. Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has raised concerns over the necessity of Garnacho's signing, suggesting it would be for financial gain rather than squad depth. Meanwhile, Chelsea is also exploring other options, including Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel, who has requested a transfer due to limited playing time. The situation remains fluid as clubs assess their needs ahead of the January 31 deadline.
