Garnacho’s apparent refusal to entertain other offers undoubtedly works in Chelsea’s favour. United have already settled for a loan exit for Marcus Rashford and may be forced to lower their demands to raise funds after spending over £200 million on the attacking trio of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea have stepped up talks to sign Garnacho in the wake of Benjamin Sesko's £74m transfer to United. The report claims that the Blues view the winger's situation at Old Trafford as an opportunity, as they look to sign a right-footed left winger to compete with Jamie Gittens.

When your (main) business is transfer rumor updates, you have to go give transfer rumor updates even when there are no updates to the transfer rumors updates. To be fair, Fabrizio Romano has perfected this art, and others can only hope to imitate.
