As the January transfer window nears its climax, Chelsea has ramped up efforts to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. The talented winger, 20, has reportedly fallen out of favor under coach Ruben Amorim, making this an opportune moment for a potential transfer.

Key Developments

• Chelsea's Offer: Sources indicate that Chelsea is preparing a formal bid for Garnacho, who has attracted interest from Napoli as they seek a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, recently sold to PSG for €60 million.
• Financial Considerations for United: Manchester United is looking to raise capital and is prioritizing a hefty fee of €95 million for Garnacho. However, a swap deal involving Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku could lower the cost involved.

Women's Super League Deadline Day

As the men's transfer activities heat up, the Women's Super League (WSL) is also buzzing with action. Chelsea is keen to secure Barcelona's Keira Walsh, whose contract is set to expire soon. Arsenal has shown considerable interest in her, yet Chelsea appears to be ahead in negotiations, with a fee rumored to be around €550,000.
