The Argentine winger has already agreed personal terms with Chelsea and is pushing for a move to Stamford Bridge, having fallen out of favor under United boss Ruben Amorim. ..Continue Reading
But Garnacho may not be the only Red Devil heading to west London.
According to multiple sources, Chelsea are now turning their attention to Kobbie Mainoo, United’s highly-rated young midfielder.
Mainoo, who enjoyed a breakout season in 2023–24 and featured prominently for England at Euro 2024, has yet to agree a long-term extension at Old Trafford.
With United struggling to secure his future, Chelsea are reportedly “waiting with open arms” to pounce should contract talks collapse.
The Blues’ interest in Mainoo comes amid a broader reshuffle under new manager Enzo Maresca. Having already brought in talents like Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, and Estêvão, Chelsea are building a squad full of youth, pace, and technical flair.
Garnacho fits that mold perfectly, and Mainoo would add further dynamism to a midfield already brimming with potential.
Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has publicly backed the club’s interest in both Garnacho and Mainoo, calling them “players with enormous upside” and urging the Blues to capitalize on United’s internal turmoil.
With Garnacho reportedly refusing to consider any club other than Chelsea, and Mainoo’s future uncertain, the London club could be on the verge of pulling off a double raid that would send shockwaves through the Premier League.
As the transfer window edges toward its conclusion, Chelsea’s intent is clear: they’re not just rebuilding — they’re reloading.
And if they land both Garnacho and Mainoo, it could mark a turning point in their quest to return to the summit of English football.
