have exiled Garnacho from first-team plans, with the 21-year-old pushing for a Stamford Bridge switch before the September 1 deadline. Chelsea are monitoring the situation but must first resolve the future of Christopher Nkunku, who has attracted interest from . However, Gallas has urged the Red Devils to quickly offload the Argentine and also tipped Tottenham to join the race in the last two weeks.

Speaking to Gambling Zone, Gallas said about clubs leaving deals late: “Clubs try to leave things to the last minute sometimes, to strike a tough deal. But they need to be careful. Garnacho is a good player, and yes maybe they can drive his value down by waiting. However, I remember players at Tottenham who would have to wait until the very last day of the transfer window for Daniel Levy to let them leave for the biggest price. Daniel would always make sure he got what he wanted for players.”

On comparisons to Bale and Modric: “There were big players he’d do this to. Gareth Bale and Luka Modric. So for , they know when they will have to sell him, but they will also know when they want to just keep him, and I think that would be a mistake. There’s still two weeks to find out – if it was me, I would try and get him out of the club before the last day of the transfer window because if they leave it too late, they may have to take an offer that they don’t really want.”

On Garnacho’s potential: “I think Garnacho is a good player. Will he be a difference maker at Chelsea? I’m not sure, but he has lots of potential.”

United are holding firm on their £50m valuation, but Chelsea’s business hinges on Nkunku being sold, while Tottenham’s potential entry could complicate matters further. With Garnacho unwilling to consider alternatives, the Red Devilsrisk losing leverage by waiting too long.

With just under two weeks of the transfer window remaining, Garnacho’s future could hinge on Chelsea offloading Nkunku. Manchester United now face a critical decision over the player’s valuation. If they delay too long, they may end up with a deal that doesn’t meet their expectations.
