Football Transfer Rumours: Garnacho and Nkunku Set for Blockbuster Swap?
As the summer transfer window heats up, several top players could be on the move, and some surprising transfer rumours are making the rounds. One of the most talked-about is a potential swap deal between Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku.
Garnacho and Nkunku Swap Rumours
Despite a breakout season at PSG, where he registered double digits for both goals and assists, Bradley Barcola is reportedly not a guaranteed starter in Luis Enrique’s squad. With players like Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of him in the pecking order, Barcola could be set to leave PSG this summer. Elite clubs such as Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are all reportedly keen on acquiring the 22-year-old talent.
Kōta Takai Set for Move to Tottenham

Garnacho’s Future at Manchester United in Doubt
After a somewhat controversial post-season tour of Asia, Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho appears to be on his way out of the club. A swap deal involving Garnacho and Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku has been suggested, with the two clubs seemingly finding a common ground for such an exchange. United, who are looking for a striker, would get Nkunku, while Chelsea would fill their need for a left-winger by bringing Garnacho to Stamford Bridge.
