Alejandro Garnacho and Karim Adeyemi lead the list of players Chelsea is considering for transfer in January.

Chelsea Eye Garnacho as Transfer Target

In a move that could shake up the January transfer window, Chelsea are reportedly keen on securing the services of Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho. This comes on the heels of the Red Devils rejecting a £40 million bid from Napoli for the talented Argentinian.

Garnacho, who has struggled to find his footing since the arrival of manager Ruben Amorim, appears to be on the market. The Mirror has reported that Chelsea are making a concerted effort to bring the 17-year-old to Stamford Bridge. Despite his potential, Garnacho has only recently made his first start in eight matches during United’s FA Cup victory over Arsenal. He did, however, play the full 90 minutes in a comeback win against Southampton, which may have reignited interest in his abilities.

With Manchester United needing to raise funds for new signings, Garnacho’s future remains uncertain. Chelsea are eager to bolster their attacking options under Enzo Maresca, and the young winger fits the profile they are looking for. However, United are holding firm on a £60 million valuation, as Garnacho’s contract still has three years left to run. In light of this, Chelsea are also keeping an eye on Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as a potential alternative.

Haaland’s Future in Limbo Amid Financial Concerns

In a separate development, Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland could find himself in a precarious situation if the club faces relegation due to financial regulation charges. The Sun has reported that City may consider loaning Haaland to one of their sister clubs, such as Girona or New York City FC, should they drop to the Championship.

The report suggests that if City were to spend just one season in the second tier, a loan deal could be the most straightforward solution. However, if Haaland were to express discontent, City would still have a significant financial buffer thanks to his long-term contract. The club’s commitment to Haaland is a clear statement of intent, but it also means that any potential suitors, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, would need to pay a staggering £500 million to secure his services.

Bayern Munich Eye Gittens as Transfer Target

Bayern Munich have emerged as the latest club interested in Borussia Dortmund’s promising winger Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old has been a standout performer for Dortmund this season, and with the club struggling, a transfer could be on the cards.

According to The Athletic, Bayern are considering a summer move for Gittens, who has been with Dortmund since 2020. This season, he has made a significant impact, scoring seven goals in 18 Bundesliga appearances and four in seven Champions League matches. As Dortmund prepare to face Eintracht Frankfurt, the pressure on manager Edin Terzić is mounting, which could further complicate Gittens’ future at the club, despite his contract running until 2028.

Arsenal in Pursuit of Norwegian Talent Nypan

Arsenal are reportedly in the race to sign teenage midfielder Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg. The 18-year-old has made a name for himself in the Norwegian league and is valued at around £10 million.

The Telegraph has revealed that Arsenal are among several clubs monitoring Nypan, who has already made over 50 appearances for Rosenborg in the top flight. Regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young talents, Nypan has drawn comparisons to Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard since he was just 16. With reports suggesting that a decision on his future could be made soon, Arsenal will need to act quickly to secure the midfielder’s signature, especially with Manchester City also showing interest.
