Garnacho joined Manchester United in 2020 from Atletico Madrid's youth set-up for €465,000. Since then, he has established himself as one of the brightest young talents in the Premier League.
This season, he has notched eight goals and five assists in 32 appearances in all competitions, contributing to an overall record 23 goals and 14 assists In 119 matches in the first team and 46 goals and 25 assists at all levels.
Despite his contributions on the field, the player's relationship with manager Ruben Amorim had become strained. Amorim reportedly didn't like the youngster's attitude, and even dropped him in a game earlier last month.
He has also come under criticism from former defender Paul Boulos Who recently admitted that he doesn't like Garnacho as a person I am happy to see that he can leave the club.
Chelsea's pursuit of Garnacho is far from straightforward, with Napoli particularly intent on securing the winger. The Serie A giants, having recently sold from Hvicha Kvaratskhlya, are keen to replace their star player and have cited Garnacho as an ideal fit.
As the January transfer window approaches its final week, it remains to be seen who wins the race to sign him.
