Chelsea are running out of time to sign one of their targets and not just because the deadline is next Monday.

Chelsea have reportedly been given an unofficial deadline before then by another club as they chase one of their players.

It is set to be a very busy end to the transfer window for the Blues, with incomings and departures both possible.

Chelsea want to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, so the 19-year-old is one possible arrival before the market closes next week.

Manchester United hand Chelsea Alejandro Garnacho deadline

Another player whom Chelsea are interested in signing is Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United.

If they want to bring him in during this transfer window, though, they have to get a move on.

According to GiveMeSport, United have given Chelsea until Friday to make a proposal for Garnacho, with the Manchester club wanting to have enough time to sign a replacement.

Garnacho will not come cheap, as the same outlet claims that United want a £70m offer to be brought to the table before they sanction a sale.

Alejandro Garnacho open to Chelsea move

Garnacho is a product of United’s academy after joining from Atletico Madrid’s youth set-up in 2020.

Nevertheless, the winger still looks open to signing for their rivals Chelsea in a boost to the Blues.

While Napoli are also thought to be interested in him, it has been claimed that Garnacho’s preference is to remain in the Premier League, suggesting that he would rather join Chelsea than Antonio Conte’s side.

United’s asking price of £70m is extremely high, though, and it does not look like the Blues will have much time to negotiate it down.

As things stand, then, it would not be a shock if Garnacho remained at Old Trafford. Already possessing Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto, there is no need to spend £70m on a winger, regardless of Mykhailo Mudryk’s situation, unless he is going to be a significant upgrade on what they already have.
