Alejandro Garnacho agents spotted at Chelsea as Man Utd transfer doubts raised

The agents of Alejandro Garnacho were present at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night. Fuel was added to the fire over the possibility of the Blues making a move for the young Manchester United forward as Lead3rs agency duo Carlos Cambeiro and Quique De Lucas were spotted in attendance in west London. The Blues are said to have enquired over the possibility of making a deal with United.
The 20-year-old still has three years remaining on his contract but Red Devils chiefs appear open to considering the Argentina international's sale under the correct terms. It has been suggested that United could be tempted to offload Garnacho - given the profit and sustainability (PSR) boost that could be provided by his sale.
United have already rejected a £40million bid from Napoli for Garnacho's services, however. Antonio Conte's side targeted the young winger after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's exit to Paris Saint-Germain. The Serie A side were instead told that it would take £60m to secure the young star's signature. Garnacho, meanwhile, was said to be open to the transfer but his current club hold a strong negotiating position, with the player tied down until 2028.
The youngster is among United's top goalscorers, only trailing Amad, having netted eight times this season. He has struggled to earn a place in Ruben Amorim's starting lineup however. Garnacho has made just one start in the club's last seven matches and was left out of the squad completely for United's derby win over Manchester City. The transfer-linked star last scored for United in Amorim's second match in charge of the club agains Bodo/Glimt.
