With the deal done on that end and the attacker reportedly only wanting one end result, talks over a fee are set to begin. The two clubs will likely have extended negotiations as the power is on the side of Clearlake with Garnacho only accepting a move to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/08\/06\/best-chelsea-players-number-15-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Best Chelsea Players to Wear the Number 15 Jersey Ever<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This move for a winger\/inside forward does raise some questions about the squad and whether it could fit an additional and similar talent that Chelsea have been targeting recently.<\/p>\n<h3>Xavi Simons Freezing<\/h3>\n<p>The Bundesliga man has been linked with a move to England for some time with the Blues initially looking set to pull off a double swoop for him and fellow Dutch international Jorrel Hato. That hasn&#8217;t been the case as Hato is officially announced and ready to play, while Simons is still working with RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/08\/03\/trio-expected-to-leave-chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">\u00a3628K Per Week Trio &#8216;Expected&#8217; To Leave Chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CFCPys\/status\/1953714465360232603\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bild<\/a>, he may even feature for the team against Lens, citing that the attacker is ready to move but without any offer currently on the table, there&#8217;s nothing to be done.<\/p>\n<p>One has to wonder how Chelsea could make a move for both attackers. They fit similar areas of the squad and signing Garnacho as is would likely leave little to no room for Simons. If it is a choice of one or the other, they could be left with the Manchester United man instead of the exciting Dutch talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on new reports, Chelsea are moving in on wide-man Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.
