The possibility of this exchange arose at the end of December, as reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano. Although the initial dialogues have not reached definitive conclusions, the negotiations are still ongoing. For Chelsea, Garnacho represents a future bet due to his speed, dribbling skills, and ability to create danger in attack. Meanwhile, Manchester United would be interested in adding Nkunku, a versatile player with experience in major European stages, as a key reinforcement in their offense.

Chelsea and Manchester United working on the swap

Nkunku, who was previously linked with Bayern Munich, could find a new challenge at Old Trafford following the breakdown of talks between Chelsea and the Bavarian club. Although his departure from the London team is not confirmed yet, his name remains one of the most coveted pieces in this market.

Currently, both clubs are handling these negotiations cautiously, aware of the complexity of such a deal. Both Chelsea and Manchester United aim to maximize the value of their assets in this operation and meet the needs of their coaches, who require strategic adjustments in their squads to face the season's challenges. It remains to be seen if this ambitious exchange will materialize before the transfer window closes.
