The Guardian reported that Chelsea's priority in introducing Garnacho was higher than Simmons.
It is reported that Chelsea is close to reaching an agreement with Manchester United to sign Garnacho, with the transaction amount expected to be between 35 million and 40 million pounds. Although the negotiations have not yet ended, the outside world expects Manchester United to reduce the asking price by 50 million pounds and let the winger join Stamford Bridge through negotiations. Chelsea is waiting for Manchester United's reply and is sure the deal will go smoothly. Garnacho has no future under Amorin, but Chelsea regards the Argentine player as a top talent and believes that it will help him get back on track in his career.
In addition, Chelsea is sure to sign Garnacho without waiting for the potential transfer of Nkunku and Jackson. Chelsea must comply with the terms of the UEFA settlement agreement, which stipulates that clubs must maintain "net transfer income positive" in order to register new players for the Champions League. However, Chelsea is not concerned about the current situation, with Stamford Bridge sources stressing that the claims that the club is facing pressure to raise funds have been exaggerated.
Garacho is seen as a priority target over Leipzig Red Bull midfielder Simmons, who is now a signing target for Tottenham. The tactical system adopted by Chelsea head coach Maresca relies heavily on players to pull the edge and open up the offensive space. Chelsea hopes to have four wingers and thinks Garnacho will compete with Gittens for the left position. Maresca hopes the team has sufficient depth on the offensive end. Chelsea has previously signed Drapp Jr., Joao Pedro, Gittens and Estevan. They are also interested in Fermin, but Barcelona is unwilling to sell the offensive midfielder. The Spanish player may become a replacement signing candidate for Simmons.
Chelsea is sure that this summer window can sell Nkunku and Jackson. Nkunku has received the attention of many top European clubs, and Jackson also has many suitors. Aston Villa, Bayern, Newcastle United, Juventus and Naples are all interested in introducing him. Bayern hopes to sign Jackson on loan, while Chelsea will only agree to rent him out on the premise that it includes a mandatory buyout clause.
Roma, Leipzig and several England teams are interested in 19-year-old winger George, and Chelsea is still waiting for a clear offer for Sterling, and Fulham may become Sterling's potential next home.
