Two English giants are exchanging talks for a potential move for Nkunku to Old Trafford whereas Chelsea is pondering the move of Garnacho which could make an exchange move for these forwards.

The reports tell Chelsea’s interest in Garnacho made them offer Nkunku to the Red Devils to secure a potential deal with lower cost for the Blues. The 27-year-old Frenchman has a £70m release price, which is unlikely to be made by both Bayern and United pushing them to opt for a transfer deal with some add-ons if it is important to seal the deal for the club.
Manchester United boss Amorim stated Garnacho "potential to be so much better in every situation" amidst the transfer saga
Man United put a price of £55m million for the Argentine forward and previously Napoli had shown interest and agreed to pay £40m which was turned down by Manchester resulting collapse of the deal. Amorim addressed Garnacho’s future stating, “He's playing for Manchester United,” he added, “He was really important for us today. Let's see in the next days”.
Portuguese boss praised the winger adding “I think he has potential to be so much better in every situation of the game”. “What I can say is that he understood what I was trying to do and was really clear. I just want to help him. In the end, it's the players who do the job”. Now it would be interesting to see what the Red Devil boss finally decides about Garnacho’s future in coming days.
Nkunku Deal Depends on the Exit of Sane in the Bayern Munich
Nkunku is still not utilised by the Blues with just 1182 minutes of playtime in which he contributed to 17 goals consisting of 13 goals and 4 assists. The Potential exit of Leroy Sane and Gnabry would increase the chance of Nkunku's transfer to Bayern as it would increase €20m savings per year in wage budget making the German side comfortable to include the Frenchman. Otherwise, Manchester United is the option for Chealse and destination for Nkunku to play rest of the season.
