Chelsea Proposes Midfielder in Exchange for Alejandro Garnacho After Man Utd Declines Lavia

Manchester United Turns Down Chelsea’s Proposal Involving Romeo Lavia for Alejandro Garnacho

Manchester United has rejected Chelsea’s proposal that included Romeo Lavia in a potential deal for Alejandro Garnacho during the recent summer transfer window.

Chelsea’s Situation With Lavia

The 21-year-old midfielder has faced ongoing fitness problems since joining Chelsea in 2023 for £53 million from Southampton. His time at the club has been affected by repeated injuries, which kept him unavailable for long periods.

Lavia made only one appearance in his first season and followed it with limited game time in the next campaign as fitness issues persisted. Chelsea explored different options for his future during the summer window.

The Proposed Deal

Chelsea considered offering Lavia plus a reduced cash payment in a move to sign Garnacho. Manchester United declined the proposal and made it clear that the young winger was not available for transfer.

Garnacho’s Form at Manchester United

Garnacho continues to play an important role at Manchester United. He has grown into a regular starter and has become more consistent in the final third. His development and impact on the squad were key reasons behind United’s decision to keep him.

Current Focus

Both clubs have now turned their attention to the new season. Chelsea aims to stabilise their midfield options, while Manchester United look to build on Garnacho’s progress as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
