London, England – The summer transfer window don dey hot like pepper soup as Chelsea don sharply step up dia talks with Manchester United about winger Alejandro Garnacho. E be like say Chelsea don catch feelings for di young star, as di clubs don dey gist for some time now, but di talks don kick into high gear. Garnacho, wey just 21 years old, don clear say e no wan go anywhere dis summer, apart from Stamford Bridge or to stay for Old Trafford (no be say dem dey play hide and seek).
Garnacho dey ready to swap his red jersey for blue and dim dim say di only way be to join Chelsea, while him don reject all other options. You fit remember say him na one of five United players wey comot for pre-season training late after coach Ruben Amorim don drop di bombshell for him and teammates say make dem find new clubs (chai, di man sabi how to blow matter).
As Chelsea dey increase dem interest for Garnacho, na because United don already agree to let go of striker Benjamin Sesko to RB Leipzig for big money wey go fit pass €76.5m (£66.4m; $89.1m) and more dough wey go follow. Sesko don already fly go for medical tests, so United no fit hold body for Garnacho again (movement don start, na so e be).
Garnacho go make am two United wingers wey don join Chelsea back-to-back, after Jadon Sancho don already comot to Stamford Bridge on loan last season. If di deal go through, e go be di ninth player wey Chelsea go add for dia squad, wey include di likes of Jamie Gittens and Estevao. Last season, dem sharp enough win di Club World Cup and di Conference League, so dem head don dey correct. But United don set dia price for Garnacho at around £70 million (no be cheap fish).
Na wah for Ruben Amorim and Garnacho relationship; e no too dey smooth at times. Di ‘find new club’ matter follow di Europa League final wey dem fall hand to Tottenham Hotspur, and Garnacho no fit hide him frustration after e barely see pitch for di final match. He come talk say how he dey wonder wetin happen after everything wey e don put inside for di season (e no go lie sha, dem don vex him).
Some people dey talk say United fit consider selling Garnacho if dem no fit balance dia finances come winter transfer window, especially as dem dey manage other academy boys like Kobbie Mainoo. Na wetin transfer window do for dem be dis (dem fit say excuse me, we no wan wahala).
Garnacho don join United academy from Atletico Madrid for October 2020 and since then, e don make 144 senior appearances, don net 26 goals plus 22 assists. Di lad don collect FA Cup and League Cup with United and even show class for di Copa America with Argentina. For now, na preservation of his budding career dey guide am – e no wan let Africa unite interfere with im fortunes (na im suppose shine, no be so?).
So, as di summer transfer window dey turn di industry upside down, we go still dey follow di story of Alejandro Garnacho and how e fit turn out for Chelsea if dem fit snap am. One thing wey sure be say, money go dey flow like say na water, while emotions dey run high like say dem dey match dem players for field!
