Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho stance 'revealed' after Blues complete 'background checks' on 21-year-old

Chelsea reportedly complete background checks on Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho ahead of a potential move for the Argentina international.

Chelsea have reportedly completed background checks on Alejandro Garnacho, as the Blues weigh up an offer for the Manchester United attacker during this summer's transfer window.

Garnacho is free to leave Man United during the current market, with the Argentina international not in the plans of Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim.

The 21-year-old fell out with Amorim following the Europa League final in May, as he was left out of the starting side against Tottenham Hotspur and then went on to criticise his manager after the match.

Garnacho's brother and agent also had some stern words for Amorim after the contest, and it is understood that the attacker was told soon after that he was now on the transfer list.

The Argentina international is not with the Man United squad in the United States and has instead been training away from the first team at the club's Carrington base.

Chelsea 'have no concerns' over Garnacho attitude

Garnacho's attitude was called into question on a number of occasions last term, notably in February, when he headed straight down the tunnel after being replaced against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

The forward agreed to "pay for a dinner`" for his Man United teammates to say sorry for the incident, while he was also left out in the early stages of Amorim's time as head coach due to concerns over his training-ground performances.

The attacker's conduct after the Europa League final proved to be the final straw for Amorim, who has since brought in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to operate in the number 10 positions.

However, according to The Telegraph, Chelsea have no fears over Garnacho's character, having conducted background checks, so a move for the attacker this summer is viewed as possible.

Which other clubs are in the race for Garnacho?

Napoli were heavily linked with Garnacho in January, allegedly having a couple of offers turned down, while there is believed to be a degree of interest from Atletico Madrid.

However, Garnacho is said to be determined to continue his career in the Premier League, and Aston Villa are also admirers of the former Atletico youngster.

Chelsea are seen as the favourites at this moment in time, but the two clubs are seemingly far apart when it comes to their valuations, with the Blues not believed to be willing to pay more than £30m, while Man United have already allegedly dropped their £70m valuation to around the £45m mark.
