Garnacho's high-profile disagreement with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim after their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham may have contributed to his current situation. Despite this, Chelsea appears to be undeterred by the player's character.

Chelsea's initial attempt to sign Garnacho in January was rebuffed by Manchester United, who did not want to sell to a rival team in the middle of the season. However, Garnacho is understood to be keen on remaining in the Premier League and competing in the Champions League.
