Chelsea is currently evaluating Garnacho\u2019s situation at Old Trafford, but they may need to offload a player before bringing in the 21-year-old. Furthermore, Aston Villa and several clubs from the Saudi Arabian league are showing interest in Garnacho.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Liverpool is assessing options involving <strong>Rodrigo<\/strong> and considering a swap for <strong>Luiz Diaz<\/strong>. Florian Plettenberg notes that Real Madrid is open to letting the winger go, with Bayern Munich also interested. Similarly, Tottenham is reportedly keen on exploring Rodrigo&#8217;s situation.

The <em>Bianconeri<\/em> has proposed various loan deals with the intention of making them permanent; however, PSG is insisting on a larger portion of the payment to be made upfront.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Despite interest from Bayern Munich, AC Milan&#8217;s winger <strong>Raphael Leo<\/strong> is focusing on a potential move to the German club. He has not appeared in discussions about any impending transfers, and Bayern\u2019s Uli Hoeness has publicly stated that the Portuguese international is off their radar.
