Manchester United look absolutely desperate to offload Alejandro Garnacho, who is attracting interest from Chelsea.

Right now, Chelsea are focusing on signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig to strengthen their attack even further. The Blues are also interested in his compatriot Jorrel Hato.

However, once the club are done there, they could turn their attention to Garnacho.

In an ideal world for United, though, Chelsea or another side would snap up the winger much sooner.

Manchester United want to sell Alejandro Garnacho before the end of the month

According to GiveMeSport, United want Garnacho to choose his next club in the “coming days” amid interest from the likes of Chelsea and Aston Villa and hope to sell the 21-year-old before the beginning of August.

The outlet claims that United bosses have made getting rid of Garnacho this month a priority, which gives Chelsea a golden opportunity to sign him.

However, the Club World Cup winners are yet to make a move for the Argentina international and there is no guarantee that they will, especially if they do go on to sign Simons.

Although he prefers playing as a No.10, Simons started on the left often last season, where Garnacho also operates.

With Chelsea signing Jamie Gittens earlier in the transfer window, the club may feel that the England Under-21 international and Simons are enough if they land the Dutchman.

Chelsea make very specific check on Alejandro Garnacho

For now, although they have not made a play for him yet, Garnacho still remains a target for Chelsea.

According to journalist Matt Law, Chelsea have been making checks on Garnacho, trying to find out what his character is really like after a season where he found himself in the headlines for the wrong reasons at times.

It shows that he is a player who has really caught their attention, which is what United want as they try to offload their attacker.

It would be a surprise, though, if Chelsea signed him before the end of July. It is not impossible, but again, with the club focusing on Simons, it seems unlikely.
