Chelsea is keeping a close eye on Alejandro Garnacho’s status at Manchester United, according to sources from ESPN. However, acquiring the winger hinges on which player departs Stamford Bridge first.
Although the required transfer fees were lowered from £70 million ($81 million) to £40 million ($46 million), Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson would still need to be sold.
ESPN’s sources also report that Garnacho, along with Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Jadon Sancho, will not participate in United’s preseason tour.

According to ESPN, Garnacho’s top priority is to stay in the Premier League while he decides on his future and remains in the UK.
Chelsea had initially shown interest in the winger back in January but has since been observing his circumstances.
Information from James Olley of ESPN contributed to this report.
