The report adds that the Blues value Jackson at £80 million ($107m) and while they are interested in Garnacho, the Club World Cup winners are unlikely to pay more than £30m ($40m) for the Argentina international. Selling Garnacho remains paramount for the Red Devils amid Profit and Sustainability rule pressures.
