Alejandro Garnacho has delivered a message to Manchester United amid Chelsea's interest in the £50million-rated outcast.
The Argentine, who was placed in Ruben Amorim's five-man 'bomb squad' at the start of the summer alongside fellow exiles Jadon Sancho, Antony, Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia, is seeking an escape from Old Trafford ahead of what promises to be a season permanently on the sidelines.
Garnacho was told by Amorim to find a new club in May, after the winger was unhappy to start on the bench in the Europa League final.
Daily Mail Sport reported on Sunday that Garnacho has now set his mind on a move to Chelsea, with the Blues holding a strong interest in the 21-year-old exile.
The Red Devils, who initially wanted £70m for Garnacho, have reduced their asking price to £50m in the hope of securing his exit.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Garnacho has told United to arrange his departure to Chelsea or he will sit on the bench for the next six to 12 months.
It is understood the Blues' hierarchy have no concerns over his character after doing their homework.
In total, Garnacho has played 144 games for Manchester United and scored 26 goals, while providing 22 assists.
He won the FA Cup with United in the 2023-24 campaign and the EFL Cup in the previous season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have also entered talks with RB Leipzig over a potential swap deal for Xavi Simons, as per The Guardian.
The deal would see Chelsea misfit Christopher Nkunku, who enjoyed a fruitful spell with the Bundesliga club before joining the Blues, move in the other direction.

Savinho is about to leave for 70m with 2goals and 10assists last season 😏 but this boy is embarrassing my club 😢 His parents or manager is not guiding him well. I pray he do the needful and stay back because it’s even hard for the club to let him go.
It's pathetic ..... very sad 😔

Garnacho threatens Manchester United to arrange his departure to Chelsea ⁉️ Someone should tell Garnacho that talent is not ...... and can never be enough. Poor attitude might lead Garnacho to regret. He has a talent that could attract £70 million, but Chelsea is offering £30 million ..... what a shame. I just hope other lazy and undisciplined players will learn from Garnacho. Talent without attitude is nonsense 😩

Garnacho needs counselling, If i was him, the only thing I could do was asking for forgiveness from the coach and all the staff's, indiscipline is the one killing this guys, rashford, sancho and Garnacho

man united didn't rush to selling him because is wages is very low...if it's high wages like Sancho man united could have accept the money immediately

Manchester United should not reduce the £50m anymore, if Chelsea can not pay let him be on bench.
