Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly leaning towards a move to Chelsea over Napoli, according to TyC Sport. Napoli had their initial bid for Garnacho rejected as United held firm on a £70m asking price. Chelsea, however, are also keen to sign the 20-year-old before the January transfer window closes.

Meanwhile, United’s management held further discussions with Napoli on Tuesday, with reports from Italy suggesting the club has now lowered their asking price to €65m (£54.8m).

Chelsea are reportedly advancing their pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho, with plans to approach Manchester United for formal negotiations over a potential January transfer. Garnacho, once a key player under Erik ten Hag, has seen his role diminished under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Amad Diallo has emerged as the primary beneficiary of Garnacho’s reduced game time, frequently linking up with Bruno Fernandes in advanced midfield roles. Napoli, who recently…

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole believes it “makes sense” for Casemiro to leave Manchester United during the January transfer window. Reports suggest the Brazilian midfielder is not part of new United manager Ruben Amorim’s plans for the season. Casemiro made a strong start at Old Trafford after his £70 million move from Real Madrid in 2022, scoring seven goals in 51 appearances during an impressive debut campaign. However, he has struggled to maintain that form and has started only four matches in all competitions since Amorim took charge last November. The 31-year-old has been linked with a move to Al-Nassr,…

Real Madrid secured their spot in the Champions League knockout playoff round with a commanding 5-1 victory over RB Salzburg at the Santiago Bernabéu. Despite a shaky start to the campaign, which saw the 15-time champions lose three of their first six matches, Madrid delivered a statement performance brimming with energy, flair, and class.

Goals from Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Martin Ødegaard secured a comfortable 3-0 victory for Arsenal over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, bringing Mikel Arteta’s side closer to automatic qualification for the knockout rounds.

The goal eased any lingering nerves following Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, where Arsenal had surrendered a…
