It has led to speculation that the 22-year-old could be shown the exit door, with reports from the Press Association that Chelsea are ready to sell him and will listen to offers of around \u00a342.5m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And the Reds could be in line for an additional payday from Garnacho&#8217;s transfer last year, having negotiated a 10 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal, entitling them to a slice of any future transfer fee should Chelsea decide to move him on.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"Factbox_factbox-container__hSMOa\" id=\"factbox\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Entering Factbox content\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"34068266\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"factbox\" data-testid=\"factbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 615px, (max-width: 810px) 810px, 1168px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png\" srcset=\"&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n615\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 615w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n810\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 810w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 1168w&#10;    \"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs Factbox_heading-three__NXU52 __className_304e29\">Get YOUR Man United Newsletter<\/h3>\n<div class=\"Factbox_content__xdMV8\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Get the best United news, updates and analysis straight to your Inbox courtesy of the Manchester Evening News!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">To get it, it&#8217;s a simple one-two punch.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"NumberedList_numbered-list__oytz_\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"ordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Head <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">THIS WAY<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Enter your email and hit <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Subscribe.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Recent reports from Italy have claimed that Roma are interested in the Reds academy graduate.

The Reds sold the forward to French Ligue 1 side Marseille in the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">United also secured a sell-on clause for that deal, which entitles them to a major portion of any future transfer fee which Marseille may receive from a sale.
