Former

Manchester United

forward

Alejandro Garnacho

could be on his way to Italy after an approach from AS Roma, it has been reported.

Garnacho

departed United last summer under somewhat acrimonious circumstances, joining Premier League rivals Chelsea. He fell out with then-manager Ruben Amorim after he was named on the bench for the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Angered by the decision, he spoke to the media and blasted the manager while openly casting doubts over his United future. Amorim responded by informing him to leave United immediately. He was also placed in the infamous bomb squad.

After weeks of speculation over his next transfer destination, he sealed a switch to Chelsea. The Blues forked out £40m to secure his signature. But things have so far not gone according to plan for either Chelsea or Garnacho.

The Argentina international

struggled in his maiden campaign at Stamford Bridge as they finished in 10th place. He managed just one goal and four assists in 24 Premier League appearances.

Before the end of the season, there were already rumours that the London club has seen enough and would be open to offloading Garnacho.

Now,

Alfredo Pedulla

claims that AS Roma are eyeing the United academy graduate.

Pedulla reports, “Roma are looking for two attacking wingers, one on the right and one on the left. We told you about Greenwood this afternoon, but we can add that a player they like is

, a 2004-born Argentine owned by Chelsea.”

“Garnacho plays on the left and has long been a hot topic.”

“Roma have inquired about him (currently for a loan) because they need two specialists alongside Malen.”

It remains unclear whether Chelsea would entertain a loan move for Garnacho, though United are expected to monitor the situation closely, given that a sell-on clause ensures they would profit from any permanent departure.

Garnacho made 144 first-team appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals.
