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 Sky Sports, should Nkunku depart, along with one of Nicolas Jackson and Tyrique George, then Chelsea would be capable of bringing both Garnacho and Simons before the deadline.

"I think [with] Garnacho, you can understand and you can see, he's talented, he's a really talented boy," Amorim said last month.
