Chelsea earns red carpet moment with 2-0 win over LA Galaxy
Chelsea kicked off their FIFA Club World Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over LA Galaxy on Monday.
The 20-year-old Argentine, who still has three years left on his contract at Old Trafford, is reportedly seeking a move away following a tumultuous end to the season.
Garnacho was dropped from the starting XI for United's 1–0 Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, only featuring for the final 20 minutes.
The decision sparked controversy, with his agent brother publicly accusing manager Ruben Amorim of having "thrown [Garnacho] under the bus".
Reports suggest Amorim intensified the situation by allegedly telling Garnacho in front of team-mates to "pray" he can find a new club.
United, aware of Garnacho's value as a young and talented asset, have placed a 70-million-pound price tag on him. While that figure has cooled interest from Bayer Leverkusen, several clubs remain in the hunt.
In the Premier League, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Tottenham are all monitoring the situation closely. Garnacho's priority is to remain in England's top flight, making a domestic transfer the likeliest outcome.
However, Napoli have also expressed interest as they prepare for the 2024–25 season, and could make a formal move should the player's price drop.
