Chelsea are putting forward a formal offer for MANCHESTER UNITED winger Alejandro Garnacho.
The Stamford Bridge club made their opening enquiries last week with United looking for £65million for the 20-year-old.
Napoli have made offers varying from £45m to £50m but have now opened parallel negotiations with Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi.
Garnacho's agents Carlos Cambeiro and Quique de Lucas were at Chelsea's game with Wolves on Monday and are open to their client making the move to London.
As he qualifies as homegrown, Garnacho's sale would give United clear profit and greater room for manoeuvre under PSR guidelines, especially as they face the prospect of not qualifying for the Champions League, this summer.
United are continuing talks with Lecce for Patrick Dorgu, who is a few months younger than Garnacho, and would fit into Ruben Amorim's style of play as a left wing back.
Chelsea recognise an offer around £60m including add-ons could get the deal done with Garnacho willing to make the move.
His representatives had not been asking for huge wages from United following his emergence as a key performer over the past 18 months so his desired terms will still fall in line with Chelsea's pay structure.
