**Alejandro Garnacho** has rocked the summer transfer window by making it clear he wants to **leave Manchester United** and join **Chelsea**, according to reports. The 20-year-old Argentine winger has **instructed his agent** to contact **new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca** directly with a clear message: *“I want the move.”*
This development follows an **alleged falling out** between Garnacho and United manager **Ruben Amorim**, which intensified after the club’s **Europa League final loss** to Tottenham. Garnacho was left out of the starting XI and later blasted United’s season as “s\*\*t” in a post-match interview — a remark seen by many as an intentional act to **force an exit**.
Sources close to the club claim Garnacho “thinks he’s the next Cristiano Ronaldo” and that his behavior was akin to an *exit interview*. United have now reportedly **given him the green light** to find a new club.
Though interest has emerged from clubs like **Napoli**, Garnacho is said to **prefer staying in the Premier League**, with **Chelsea** firmly at the top of his wishlist. His representatives were spotted at Stamford Bridge multiple times last season, and the player is reportedly impressed with the **youth-focused project** Chelsea is building under Maresca.
Chelsea are now exploring a **£50 million move** for the winger. Garnacho sees this as the perfect environment to further his development, joining a talented young squad featuring the likes of **Cole Palmer** and **Noni Madueke**.
Despite the off-field drama, Garnacho delivered **21 goal contributions** across all competitions last season. However, being dropped for the Europa League final marked a breaking point. On United’s post-season tour of Asia, he remained distant — avoiding media and fan interaction, hinting his mind was already made up.
Signed from Atlético Madrid in 2020, Garnacho quickly rose through the ranks at United, but under Amorim, his influence has waned. Insiders suggest his **ego and attitude** have caused friction, with some at the club feeling he believes he’s already *world-class*.
Chelsea, however, are reportedly open to embracing his fiery personality, believing that **a fresh start and Maresca’s guidance** can unlock his full potential.
Should the transfer go through, it would **mark the end of a turbulent chapter** at Old Trafford and the beginning of a bold new one at Stamford Bridge.
The saga is ongoing, but one thing is clear: **Garnacho wants Chelsea—and he’s made it known.**
