Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is reported to have turned down an approach from Bayern Munich, as he continues to hold out for a move to Chelsea instead. Garnacho’s Old Trafford future seemed to reach a sudden end at the conclusion of last season, following an frustrated outburst after not starting the Europa League final.

Manchester United's 2025/26 season kickstarted with a narrow defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. Ruben Amorim's men failed to take their chances at Old Trafford in what was an encouraging performance.

The clubs have been in touch over Garnacho for some time but talks have now advanced, and Garnacho expects to move to Stamford Bridge.

Tchatchoua is, in effect, a replacement for the former club captain Nélson Semedo, who rejected a new contract at Wolves in favour of a move to Fenerbahce. Tchatchoua, who produced the top speed in the Italian top flight last season at 36.3km/h, has signed a five-year deal.
