Chelsea’s transfer window has taken an unexpected turn, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that the Blues’ ‘top target’ for this window is none other than Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
Fabrizio Romano confirms Man Utd Star Garnacho has now become Chelsea’s top target
This revelation comes after Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Wolves, but it raises eyebrows given the pressing needs that have already been identified by fans and pundits alike.
Chelsea’s priorities have been clear for a while: a new goalkeeper, a solid centre-back, a reliable striker, and additional midfield cover, especially in light of recent injuries.
Yet, according to Romano, the Stamford Bridge club has shifted focus to signing Garnacho, a winger who has shown flashes of brilliance at Old Trafford but has yet to fully establish himself as a regular starter.
While there’s no denying Garnacho’s potential, many fans are questioning whether a winger should really be Chelsea’s most urgent target.
With Mykhailo Mudryk’s form still in question, and the availability of young talent like Tyrique George, one would expect that strengthening the spine of the team should take precedence.
But Chelsea’s interest in Garnacho, who is reportedly available for £59m, suggests a different strategy is at play.
Romano confirmed that Chelsea made contact with Manchester United about Garnacho on Monday, fueling speculation about a potential move.
But many are left wondering: is this the right moment to invest in a winger?
Given Chelsea’s ongoing struggles in defence and attack, and the growing injury list in midfield, it seems that a winger should perhaps be a secondary concern rather than the main focus.
As the transfer window heats up, Chelsea fans will be hoping that the club’s transfer business reflects the true priorities for the squad.
After all, if Chelsea ends the window without addressing the most urgent issues, the backlash from fans and pundits alike could be intense.
