Overview
- Alejandro Garnacho joined Chelsea on Aug. 30 in a reported £40 million transfer with no players moving to Manchester United.
- ESPN reports United declined Chelsea’s proposal to include Roméo Lavia as part of the deal because of concerns over his fitness history.
- Lavia has missed more than 75 games, has 31 Chelsea appearances without completing a full 90 minutes, and is currently sidelined with a quadriceps injury.
- Christopher Nkunku was also offered to United before he completed a move to AC Milan after an injury-affected spell in England.
- United spent about £225 million on other summer signings, including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and goalkeeper Senne Lammens, and the report relies on unnamed sources echoed by Yahoo Sports.
