Alejandro Garnacho: Surprise club working on signing ex-United star from Chelsea

Alejandro Garnacho: Surprise club working on signing ex-United star from Chelsea Alejandro Garnacho is facing an uncertain future at Chelsea, less than a year after leaving Manchester United. At the behest of Ruben Amorim, United made a bold decision to part ways with their prolific academy product, sanctioning a transfer worth £40 million to their Premier League rivals. However, the move to London has not worked out for the Argentinian forward thus far, sparking interest from his home country.

River Plate show interest in Alejandro Garnacho Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Chelsea are open to offers for Alejandro Garnacho in the summer. Now, a report in Argentina has named a surprise suitor for the 21-year-old. Speaking on live Argentinian TV, TyC Sports journalist Gonzalo Carol (via Sport Witness ) suggested that River Plate are interested in signing Garnacho.

It is understood that River Plate manager Eduardo Coudet has made contact with the Chelsea youngster. Furthermore, Chelsea would allegedly look favourably on a one-year loan to Argentina. Garnacho’s development has been seriously hampered at Stamford Bridge, with the electric winger managing just 14 Premier League starts.

As such, the idea of a move away from Chelsea is far from wild. However, the Spanish-born player has never played senior football in Argentina. Accordingly, it might prove very difficult for River Plate to convince him to leave European football at this juncture of his career.
