CHELSEA'S STANCE ON MAINOO & GARNACHO REVEALED – AS MAN UTD CONSIDER 'PURE-PROFIT' SALES TO BALANCE BOOKS
Blues Monitoring United Duo as Financial Pressures Mount at Old Trafford
Chelsea are keeping close tabs on Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, with the Blues aware that the cash-strapped Red Devils may be forced into pure-profit sales to comply with Premier League financial rules.
United’s £555m debt and lack of Champions League revenue have left them vulnerable to offers for their crown jewels—and Chelsea are ready to pounce if either player becomes available.
The Latest on Chelsea’s Interest
1. Kobbie Mainoo (£60m+ Valuation)
✔ Enzo Maresca admires his midfield control
❌ United view him as untouchable – New contract talks underway
⚠️ Only astronomical bid would test resolve
2. Alejandro Garnacho (£70m+ Valuation)
✔ Seen as ideal Sterling upgrade
❌ Garnacho wants to stay – But contract talks stalled
⚠️ PSG also monitoring
Why Man Utd Are Vulnerable
💰 Must raise £100m+ in pure profit before June 30
📉 Failed European campaign hurt revenue
🔄 INEOS open to sacrifices – But prefer to sell fringe stars first
Players More Likely to Be Sold
Scott McTominay (West Ham, Fulham interest)
Casemiro (Saudi offers expected)
Chelsea’s Strategy
🔹 Will wait for United’s FFP desperation to peak
🔹 Prefer Garnacho but Mainoo the dream
🔹 Could offer players in exchange (Chalobah, Broja)
What’s Next?
United’s June fire sale will reveal true stance
Garnacho talks more advanced than Mainoo
PSG could hijack if Mbappé money flows
Will Chelsea land a shock United raid? Or will INEOS hold firm?
