Chelsea and Man United consider two players to ‘trade places’

Both teams have players wanting departures from their respective clubs.

Linked with the Blues late in the January window, Enzo Maresca's side have now renewed their interest in Argentinian Alejandro Garnacho.

Highly likely to leave the club this summer, it was publicly reported that the 20 year old is not part of Ruben Amorim's plans going into next season.

At Chelsea, Christopher Nkunku wants to quit the West Londoners, leading to the prospect of the players trading places 'not ruled out'.

Despite the potential of trading places, a swap deal is not understood to be considered, as per The Telegraph.

The clubs are yet to discuss direct talks on the potential matter, although it would solve many issues they possess.

Garnacho recently hit the headlines after posing in an Aston Villa shirt with Marcus Rashford's name on the back.

The player is reported to be favouring to stay in England and would love the opportunity to play at Stamford Bridge.

Garnacho is part of a three-man shortlist that the Champions League challengers have alongside Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens and Lyon's Malik Fofana.
