Chelsea have now advanced their interest in Garnacho, as revealed by Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, who reports background checks have been made over his character, which have not raised any concerns for the Blues.

Alejandro Garnacho continues to be strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, with Manchester United pushing the Argentina international out of Old Trafford by making him one of four first-team players Ruben Amorim has taken decisive action against.

The future of Alejandro Garnacho remains up in the air. Manchester United made the forward available for transfer this summer, alongside a number of other players when they were expected to report back for pre-season training at the start of July.
