Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly mulling over executing a swap deal involving Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku.
According to an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku might swap bases in the winter transfer window. Chelsea and Manchester United have held preliminary discussions over a possible exchange deal involving the two wantaway forwards in the winter transfer window.
Alejandro Garnacho, Christopher Nkunku and their situations
Alejandro Garnacho has established himself as one of the best young attacking prospects in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United. While the Madrid-born winger has blown hot and cold in the last 30 months, he has showcased his potential with aplomb during this period.
The 20-year-old has chipped in with eight goals and five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions thus far this term. However, the highly-rated attacker faces an uncertain future at Manchester United after barely starting games under Ruben Amorim. As for Christopher Nkunku, the Frenchman was among the most prolific attackers in the world before Chelsea signed him from RB Leipzig.
However, fitness issues and competition for places have hampered the French international, who has barely started Premier League games this season. But Nkunku has an excellent record of 13 goals and four assists in only 1,180 minutes of game time across 28 appearances in all competitions.
Swap deal beckons?
Christopher Nkunku and Alejandro Garnacho might swap bases in the winter transfer window. Recent reports have claimed that Manchester United are “keeping informed” on Nkunku’s situation, while Garnacho is increasingly likely to join Chelsea. The swap deal should serve the two clubs well, as Nkunku is a natural fit in Ruben Amorim’s system, while Garnacho can reprise multiple roles under Enzo Maresca.
However, “there is no final decision” on a swap deal involving the two wantaway attackers. Nkunku is eager to leave Chelsea after barely featuring in the Premier League, while Garnacho is ready to embark on a new adventure away from Manchester United. So, an exchange might see the light of day.
While Chelsea and Manchester United have only held preliminary discussions, the Blues’ interest in Garnacho and the latter’s contemplation of signing Nkunku makes it a plausible eventuality. It will be interesting to see if a swap deal sees the light of day.
