Lagos, Nigeria – As the sun dey shine for summer transfer window, Chelsea don dey ginger the talk with Manchester United to snatch dem young winger, Alejandro Garnacho. Who this guy be? Na 21-year-old Argentinian wey don dey shine like star for Old Trafford, but e don carry mind carry go Stamford Bridge. E don rule out other options like sey na only Chelsea or staying for Old Trafford dey his agenda. Na wah!
Dis matter don hot since June, but now e don enter advanced stage. Garnacho dey expect say he go soon join Chelsea, wey don already stack up for their transfer basket this summer. Na dem serious negotiations make am dey feel like sey e dey close to making dis big step. (Everyone sabi say na serious matter, but we go see how am go play out.)
Meanwhile, dem United don gree make dem carry dem striker, Benjamin Sesko, go Leipzig for €76.5 million after dem don discuss with Chelsea over Garnacho. Things dey shake small for dem transfer market, and it fit mean say United dey open to let Garnacho waka if dem get the right offer. As it be now, dem don mention price wey go make sense – like €50 million for this young talent, compared to earlier price wey reach £70 million.

Amorim don add pepper for di matter, sha. After dem final match for Europa against Tottenham, he tell Garnacho say make he find another club. That kind statement fit make anybody vex! Na dis kolo-kolo relationship wey dem dey have na im dey make di transfer matter even more complicated. E be like sey Amorim wan maintain his squad, but dis na football; everybody wan play for better side.
In other transfers, Chelsea don grab fresh faces like Jamie Gittens and Estevao, like dem dey try build one solid squad ahead of their Champions League campaign. As for United, dem dey eye new signings too, and with Sesko’s move, we don dey watch closely how dis Garnacho matter go fit land.
No matter how dis whole drama unfold, one thing be say – Chelsea dey ready to bolster dem wing with Garnacho, and na wetin we go dey follow closely as di summer wan come to an end. Time go tell if una go see di boy in Chelsea blue!
