Jamie Carragher slammed Alejandro Garnacho's behaviour at Stamford Bridge ahead of his Chelsea move. A £40 million ($54m) capture from Manchester United, tied down on a massive seven-year deal, the 21-year-old Argentina winger arrived in west London with expectation swirling around him.
Alejandro Garnacho has risked the wrath of Manchester United supporters after openly confessing he grew up cheering for Chelsea because of his admiration for Eden Hazard. The revelation came just hours after he completed a £40 million ($54m) move from Old Trafford to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are hoping to negotiate a bargain £25 million ($33.7m) transfer fee with Manchester United for their out-of-favour winger Alejandro Garnacho before the summer transfer window closes. Garnacho is in Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' after his fallout with the manager following the Europa League final loss to Tottenham last season.
Manchester United’s handling of Alejandro Garnacho’s uncertain future has come under scrutiny, with William Gallas warning that the Red Devils could be forced into a deal they do not want if they drag negotiations on until the end of the window. Chelsea remain the winger’s preferred destination, but Tottenham Hotspur have now been tipped to enter the chase.
