Man United are prepared to sell Alejandro Garnacho before the window closes
Tottenham's £50million move for Bayern winger Mathys Tel collapsed on Friday
LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Ollie Watkins to Arsenal? It's terrible planning from Arsenal... it's all a bit late and panicked from the Gunners!
Tottenham have made an enquiry for Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho after missing out on Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.
United have been willing to sell for around £60million amid interest from Chelsea and Napoli.
It is unclear whether Garnacho would consider the move to Tottenham at this stage.
Spurs' initial enquiry around the Argentine winger was around a loan deal, and the north London outfit have a long-standing, strong interest in Garnacho, though talks have still to progress.
Spurs' late move for the Argentine winger comes just hours after a move for Bayern winger Tel broke down. The north Londoners had reached a £50m agreement with Bayern over the player, leaving talks between Tel and his agent as the final hurdle to get a deal over the line.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was reportedly in Bavaria to 'accelerate talks' for the France international, keen to push forward as other Premier League outfits breathed down their necks.
Tel has a number of offers on the table and it was thought that playing time would be key to his decision, with his decision to call it quits at Bayern coming after falling out of favour under Vincent Kompany.
That is something that Tottenham could have provided as their squad continues to be blighted by injuries. Dominic Solanke is out for six weeks, while Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner are also currently sidelined.
But, with personal terms the final hurdle to get the transfer over the line, Tel rejected the move in the latest blow to Tottenham.
Garnacho, meanwhile, has continued to put in positive performances for United despite being on the chopping block this month. The 20-year-old made an impact off the bench in United's 2-0 win over Steaua Bucharest on Thursday night.
In total he has made 121 appearances for United since making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2022.
Mail Sport reported last Thursday that Chelsea were putting forward a formal offer for Garnacho and that the Stamford Bridge outfit had a clear run at signing him, with Napoli switching their attention to Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi.
Napoli had earlier failed with multiple offers for Garnacho, despite offering up to £50million. Meanwhile, Chelsea made their opening enquiries earlier this month, to which United responded by slapping a £65m price tag on the former Atletico Madrid starlet.
Garnacho's agents Carlos Cambeiro and Quique de Lucas were spotted at Chelsea's game against Wolves on last Monday. They are believed to be open to the idea of their client moving to London.
