Man Utd hold Christopher Nkunku talks as Chelsea hold out for £70m transfer fee while they mull over Alejandro Garnacho bid

<p>According to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13295707/manchester-united-earmark-christopher-nkunku-as-potential-transfer-target-as-chelsea-ponder-alejandro-garnacho-move" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a>, the French international has drawn interest from Old Trafford as they look to solve their goal scoring woes. Although Chelsea are reluctant to part ways with Nkunku,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-huge-christopher-nkunku-fee-chelsea-demanding-from-bayern-munich-unhappy-forward-pushes-for-harry-kane-link-up/blt10120be597a749de" target="_blank"> they could potentially do business if their £70 million ($87m)</a> asking price is matched. United, however, are unlikely to meet Chelsea’s valuation of the player. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Meanwhile, it has been reported that Bayern Munich <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-harry-kane-christopher-nkunku-chelsea-january/blt70f3518f72bb827c#csb369cfc4d012983a" target="_blank">could be open to negotiating </a>a deal if Chelsea would take forward Mathys Tel as part of a separate arrangement. However, no concrete progress has been made on this front, leaving Chelsea in full control of Nkunku’s future.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amid United's interest in Nkunku, Chelsea are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/enzo-maresca-responds-alejandro-garnacho-transfer-talk-chelsea-prepare-60m-bid-man-utd-winger/blt201313ede625db17" target="_blank">keeping tabs on Alejandro Garnacho</a>. The 19-year-old Argentine has been linked with a potential move away from Old Trafford, and the west London side are reportedly exploring the possibility of adding him to their attacking lineup. The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/antony-deal-done-man-utd-winger-jet-out-real-betis-loan-move-agreed-gbp85m-flop/blt198141998f700f2d" target="_blank">impending loan move of Antony to Real Betis, expected to be finalised this weekend</a>, may play a crucial role in determining whether <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-alejandro-garnacho-man-utd-future-napoli-chelsea-interest-argentina-winger-potential-to-be-so-much-better/bltffee4597454c7be6" target="_blank">United will part ways with Garnacho</a>. Balancing their attacking depth remains a priority for Ruben Amorim, as they do not want to find themselves short on goalscoring firepower.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>January could prove pivotal for all parties involved. United’s pursuit of Nkunku hinges on their willingness to negotiate Chelsea’s asking price, while the Blues' interest in Garnacho adds an intriguing subplot. </p>
