Football transfer rumours: Chelsea to hold talks over Garnacho deal?

0
It seems like every Manchester United winger, except Amad Diallo, wants to leave the club. Chelsea are set to hold talks over a potential deal for Alejandro Garnacho, who is of interest to Napoli, and the claims in Italy are that the Argentinian could be acquired for around £46m, which might help give Ruben Amorim a few quid to spend on his desperate squad. The Blues have some alternatives, too, in the form of Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel.

Marcus Rashford is desperately seeking someone willing to take him and pay his wages but his options are becoming increasingly limited. Despite their chronic financial issues, Barcelona met with supposedly the United’s forward’s representative in Lisbon prior to a match with Benfica. “We are dealing with the issue of [financial] fair-play,” Barça sporting director Deco said. “In the final days, if the team can be strengthened, we will try, but as of today there is nothing.” Loads of names have been linked with Rashford, the latest being Marseille but there is no chance Monaco will sign him. Meanwhile, Antony is very close to joining Real Betis.

One potential in at United could be Lecce full-back Patrick Dorgu. Manchester United suits have headed out to Italy in order to hold talks over a deal starting at £25m for the Danish left-back. There are other options on the shortlist, such as Crystal Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell and Wolves’ Rayan Al-Nouri.

Jack Grealish has not had the best of times at Manchester City over the past 12 months and the imminent arrival of Omar Marmoush might have a negative effect on him. Borussia Dortmund and Internazionale are keeping tabs on his situation and could be persuading to make a loan offer for the England winger.

Matheus Cunha might not be particularly eager in being involved in a relegation battle and could be tempted to leave Wolves. The Brazilian forward could be a good fit down at Arsenal but the Gunners would need to cough up a spicy £80m in order to prise him away from Molineux. Another potential destination for Cunha is Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest.

Ipswich are about to add to their range of technically gifted attacking midfielders with the loan signing of Julio Enciso from Premier League rivals Brighton. The Paraguayan has become a bit-part player under Fabian Hurzeler this season, being reduced to cameos off the bench and sometimes not making the matchday squad at all and will welcome more minutes at Portman Road.

Amid the utterly awful season Southampton are suffering, there has been one bright note in the form of Tyler Dibling. The teenage winger has excited the Saints supporters and with the club set to head back to the Championship, they might be forced to cash in on their academy product. Tottenham are keeping tabs on Dibling, who has attracted interest from RB Leipzig, too.
