with Chelsea reportedly taking the lead in recent days.
United are open to transfer bids for all first-team players to raise funds and strengthen Ruben Amorim’s underperforming squad.
There’s also significant pressure to adhere to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and Financial Fair Play (FFP).
United are pushing the boundaries of financial regulations after spending over £600 million in less than three years to assemble Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Amorim has faced challenges managing a dysfunctional group of players at Old Trafford.
Due to the club’s financial constraints, Amorim’s efforts to rebuild the squad have been limited this month, making the sale of a homegrown player like Garnacho vital.
The Times reports that Garnacho will be allowed to leave if United’s £60 million valuation is met.
It’s claimed that the Argentine prefers a move to Chelsea over Napoli, wanting to stay in the Premier League.
Although Chelsea have not yet made an official offer, there is considerable interest from Stamford Bridge, and a bid is expected.
Garnacho is one of United’s most important players, with only Bruno Fernandes and Amad contributing more goals this season.
He has scored 23 goals, including the opener in the FA Cup final win against Manchester City, and registered 14 assists in 119 senior appearances.
Selling Garnacho would be profitable for United since he came through their academy after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
On Friday, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca downplayed the links to Garnacho, stating he is content with his current attacking options.
