Chelsea prepare opening bid for wantaway Man Utd ace Alejandro Garnacho in £50m deal to kick off transfer merry-go-round
CHELSEA are weighing up an opening bid for Alejandro Garnacho as his future becomes increasingly uncertain.
The Manchester United winger is wanted by The Blues and Italian club Napoli but they are now switching their attention to Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is hoping to sign a new winger this month[/caption] The Italian is weighing up a move for Manchester United ace Alejandro Garnacho[/caption]And that could pave the way for Chelsea to head the race for the Argentine who would cost around £50 million.
It is believed Garnacho would prefer to remain in the Premier League too – given Chelsea an even stronger hand in the transfer market.
Chelsea have several wingers but with Mykhailo Mudryk possibly facing a lengthy suspension for testing positive for a banned substance, boss Enzo Maresca is exploring new opportunities.
And left-sided forward Christopher Nnkuku is wanted by Bayern Munich leaving further holes to be filled in wide positions.
Maresca is looking forward to the closure of the transfer window, which he’s claimed has made his job a million times harder.
When asked how he’s been finding January, the Italian said: “A disaster.
“It is normal that you judge the results because the business is a business where you judge the results.
“But I’m happy with the performances, I’m happy because we create and we play.
“On the pitch, I would like to win more games but I’m OK.
“Off the pitch, it is a disaster because of so many noises that don’t help us. I don’t think they help any club.
“It’s not just for us, it’s for every club and every manager. In this moment, whenever there is any noise about any player.
“It is not easy because even if you think the player can be focused on us, in the end he is a human being.
“If there is any noise about another club then he is probably not focused 100%. But we need to adapt because it is like this.”
Chelsea will be back in action on Saturday night, travelling to the Etihad to take on Manchester City.
Man Utd and Chelsea owners ‘shortlisted to buy stake in London-based team’ who host matches at iconic stadium
MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea owners could reportedly be set to buy a stake in London Spirit.
The Hundred cricket team currently plays at the iconic Lord’s Stadium in the capital.
The London Spirit has a value of £140million[/caption] Todd Boehly is reportedly one interested party in the team[/caption] The Glazers have also been shortlisted for a stake in the side[/caption]The Hundred has been running since 2021 and is a spin on the traditional formats of cricket as innings are just 100 balls long.
Sky News have claimed that the owners of the Red Devils and the Blues are in the running to purchase a stake.
The report has suggested that the two have been shortlisted to secure a stake in the London Spirit.
The team are one of the most respected in the competition due to playing at the “home of cricket”.
In 2024, the Mail claimed that the ECB are hoping to entice American investment into the competition.
This may have been boosted by the success of Major League Cricket from 2023.
However, the likes of Chelsea‘s Todd Boehly and United’s Glazers will face stiff competition.
It is believed a group of technology company owners and financiers are also interested.

IPL team Lucknow Super Giants owners RPSG Group are also claimed to be in contention.
The London Spirit have a reported value of £140million.
Bids are expected to be finalised at the end of the month and is being overseen by the Raine Group.
Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has been linked with the Trent Rockets.
It has been reported that the Greek businessman is keen on adding the Hundred side to his sporting empire.

Your Amazon Prime membership has THREE food discounts you’ve missed including major price cut for your Deliveroo orders
FEELING hungry? Check your Amazon Prime membership for three perks that slash the cost of food deliveries.
If you’re already paying for Amazon Prime, you can take advantage of some handy hunger-busting benefits.

By claiming them, you might be able to get better value for money on your membership – beyond free Amazon deliveries and a bit of Prime Video telly.
FOOD PERK #1 – ‘BUY MORE & SAVE’
One handy perk for Prime members is the Buy More & Save program.
This slashes the cost of your bill by 15% if you buy four qualifying items.
Amazon has a shopping page that shows all of the products that count towards the four-item discount.
And that includes food and drink like tinned veg, pasta and instant coffee – as well as other handy buys like loo roll and nappies.
Your cart will be tracked at the top, showing how close you are to the 15%-off discount.
Amazon says that it offers over 1,000 qualifying items in the UK, so there’s a good chance you’ll find what you’re looking for.
You can find the official Buy More & Save page here.
FOOD PERK #2 – DELIVEROO SAVINGS
Another handy perk is the free Deliver Plus Silver membership that comes bundled with Prime.
You can claim an entire year of free membership just by having an active Amazon Prime subscription.
It’ll grant you free delivery on eligible food orders over £15.
And if you’re ordering from a store, there’s an “extensive list” that offers free delivery over £25 with this membership.
Normally Deliveroo Plus Silver costs £3.49 per month (about £42 a year) so it’s a big saving.
Sign up or log into Deliveroo and link your Amazon Prime account in the app.

Hello Fresh boxes contain ingredients and recipe cards to help you cook up delicious meals at home[/caption]The idea is that you still get to cook the meal, but the hard work of planning it and finding the ingredients is already done for you.
Amazon Prime members can get free shipping on any HelloFresh recipe box orders for an entire yet.
If you were paying for that yourself, you’d be charged £4.99 per box.
So you’ll save about £60 if you ordered a box each month for a year.
HOW MUCH DOES AMAZON PRIME COST?
Here's what you need to know about Amazon Prime pricing in the UK...
A standard Amazon Prime membership costs £8.99 a month – that’s £107.88 over the course of a year.
If you pay annually, you’ll be billed £95 instead.

Bring back the death penalty for monsters like Southport killer, blast furious MPs
HANGING should be brought back for monsters like Axel Rudakubana, MPs demanded tonight.
Reform Party politicians said the horrifying nature of the Southport attack warranted the death penalty.
Rupert Lowe said: “It is my opinion that now is the time for a national debate on the use of the death penalty in exceptional circumstances. This is an exceptional circumstance.”
His colleague Lee Anderson posted a picture of a hangman’s noose, saying “this is what is required”.
And Reform’s deputy Richard Tice said we should not “be afraid of having a national debate on important big issues like”.
The last person executed in Britain was in 1964, but the death penalty was not officially abolished until 1998.
Rudakubana was today handed a minimum 52 years in prison, with the judge blocked by giving him a whole life order because he was 17 at the time of the murders.
Read more on the tragedy
- Axel Rudakubana was sentenced today over the Southport massacre
- The monster told police “I’m glad they’re dead” after the horror
- A dance teacher made a heartbreaking victim impact statement
- The families of victims told how their lives were ‘shattered in an instant’
- Shocking pictures show a cache of weapons found in Rudakubana’s home
- All the missed chances to stop the killer have been revealed
- A Sky News reporter broke down on air while covering the sentencing
Kemi Badenoch tonight led calls for tougher laws so teenage monsters like him can die in jail.
She urged a review of sentencing rules that currently let under-18s like the Southport beast dodge whole life tariffs.
She said: “His age means he has not been given a whole life sentence, despite the countless lives he destroyed on that dreadful day, and the legacy of mistrust he has sown across the country.
“There is a strong case here for amending the law to give clear judicial discretion to award whole life sentences to under-u18s, which Conservatives will start to explore.”
She said her party will not shy away from confronting the “hard truths” of “integration” and “extreme ideologies”.
Southport’s Labour MP Patrick Hurley also backed a law change if needed to keep him behind bars for life.
Within minutes of the judge handing down a minimum jail time of 52 years, the sentence was immediately referred to the Attorney General for being unduly lenient.
The UK’s Law Officers now have 28 days to decide whether to appeal the sentencing, considering the “high threshold” for doing so.”
PM Sir Keir Starmer said: “The thoughts of the entire nation are with the families and everyone affected by the unimaginable horrors that unfolded in Southport. No words will ever be able to capture the depth of their pain.
“I want to say directly to the survivors, families and community of Southport – you are not alone. We stand with you in your grief.
“What happened in Southport was an atrocity and as the judge has stated, this vile offender will likely never be released.
“After one of the most harrowing moments in our country’s history we owe it to these innocent young girls and all those affected to deliver the change that they deserve.”
Why didn't judge give Southport killer a whole life tariff?
AXEL Rudakubana carried out his twisted rampage when he was 17 years old but despite the horrific nature of his crimes, he was not be given a whole life tariff.
The rare sentencing order can only be handed down to anyone aged 21 or over.
Due to Rudakubana’s age, this means he will not spend the rest of his life in prison.
Whole-life orders can sometimes be considered for those aged 18 to 20 in exceptional circumstances.
Although Rudakubana is now 18, he does not fall into this category due to the fact he was 17 when he committed his offences.
The killer was instead be given a life sentence but with a minimum tariff. This means he must spend that amount of time behind bars before he is considered for release.
The judge imposed a minimum term of 52 years, which is one of the highest on record and is thought to be the longest punishment handed to a killer of his age.
Taking into account the 175 days he has already served on remand, he will be required to serve 51 years and 190 days before he can be considered for release by the Parole Board.
Despite the length of the minimum term, it has already been referred to the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
Manchester Arena bomber Hashem Abedi, 23, was handed a record-breaking 55-year minimum term in 2020 for 22 murders and attempted killings. The terrorist orchestrated the 2017 atrocity when he was 20.
Prior to that, the longest minimum term imposed on a terrorist in Britain is believed to have been 50 years in the case of David Copeland.
The 22-year-old was given six life sentences for targeting Brick Lane, Soho and Brixton in 1999 in a 13-day nail bombing campaign that left three people dead and 139 injured.
Buying a car with bad credit history: How Sun Motors specialises in refused car finance applications
HAD an application for car finance turned down? Finding the right car is an exciting journey, but securing the funds to drive it home can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.
It’s not always plain sailing, and there are several reasons why mainstream direct lenders might reject your application for car finance if you can’t afford to buy outright – and many of us can’t.
So, whether you’re looking to find out whether you can apply for car finance with poor credit, how much you’ll be allowed to borrow and more, read on to discover how Sun Motors has been designed to offer Unique Direct Lender access for those refused car finance elsewhere.
Why car finance applications are rejected
Understanding the reasons why some car finance applications are rejected can help you take steps towards a solution, but some common reasons include:
- Poor credit history: Lenders often look for responsible borrowing and repayment history. Missed payments, defaults, or bankruptcy can lower your credit score and reduce your chances of approval
- High debt-to-income ratio: If your monthly financial obligations, such as credit card payments and loans, are high compared to your income, lenders may view you as a risk.
- Insufficient credit history: A lack of borrowing history can make it difficult for lenders to assess your financial reliability.
- Overly ambitious loan applications: Applying for a loan amount that exceeds your financial capacity may lead to rejection.
What happens if you’ve had an application for car finance turned down?
If you’ve had an application for car finance turned down, it’s natural to feel disheartened.
Traditional lenders often have stringent criteria that may leave you out of options, particularly if you have a less-than-perfect credit history.

Katie Price slammed as ‘sickening’ by ex Alex Reid’s ‘IVF survivor’ partner who tells C4 ‘shame on you’ for doc
KATIE Price has been slammed as ‘attention seeking and sickening’ by ex Alex Reid’s ‘IVF survivor’ partner Nikki Manashe.
Former glamour model Katie, 46, features in a new Channel 4 documentary following her attempt to have a baby with former fiance Carl Woods.
Scenes tackle the heart-wrenching moment Katie discovers her IVF hasn’t worked and that she isn’t pregnant as well as the pair’s painful split.
Now Nikki – who shares twin boys and a daughter with Alex, 49, following a gruelling IVF battle of her own – has blasted Katie in a social media post which has since been deleted.
She wrote: “I feel as a IVF blogger I need to express this.
“As a IVF survivor, who’s struggled through many years of grief, mourning the loss of pregnancies, nearly dying from an ectopic pregnancy resulting in my fallopian tubes being removed and the mental struggles like so many others.
“I am sickened to the core to see such attention seeking dribble on the TV for financial gain and cheap headlines.”
Nikki added: “I can’t understand how any IVF clinic would ever go ahead with treatment on a person like this.”
Katie married Alex in February 2010 but the couple divorced less than a year later.
During Katie Price: Making Babies, Carl is seen making the decision to end their relationship.
He says: “It’s about having stability in my life. Kids need a stable home, I don’t have the fight left in me, I’ve fought for three years …
“I have done everything I can do, the only last thing is to walk away.”
Both Carl and Katie since admitted they have no interest in watching the documentary, with Carl saying he couldn’t understand why it was airnig and calling it “old news”.
The treatment was ultimately unsuccessful and the mum-of-five is now in a relationship with JJ Slater.
My husband has started offering me up to his buddies for sex
DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband is obsessed with the idea of me sleeping with other men – so much so he’s started offering me up to his buddies.
I’ve tried to tell him again and again how uncomfortable this makes me feel, but he never listens. Now our relationship is falling apart, and I don’t know how to fix it.
I’m 47, my husband is 50, and we’ve been married for 19 years.
It’s safe to say he’s always been sexually adventurous.
From the beginning of our relationship, he has often spoken about his fantasies and fetishes, and where I can, I’ve always tried to give him what he wants.
However, over the last few years he’s become fixated on the idea of me having sex with another man in front of him.
He tells me all the time how much he wants to watch me and has tried his hardest to convince me to try it. Even though I keep saying no, he keeps pushing it, and it’s starting to wear me down.
Even when we get intimate, he constantly brings it up and asks me to talk about my previous experiences.
It’s getting to the point where it’s causing a huge conflict in our relationship. He constantly calls me a misery and a bore.
He’s even started offering me up to his friends. Whether it’s men he’s met in the pub or buddies he’s made at golf, he has no shame.
He says he just wants me to know that I have ‘options,’ but I can’t help but feel pressured.
I feel so disgusting. How can he treat me this way?
MORE FROM DEAR DEIDRE
DEIDRE SAYS: Your husband is treating you like a possession, and it’s out of order.
A relationship is a partnership, not an arrangement where he can call all the shots.
You deserve to be in a relationship where you are loved, where you feel safe, and where you are under no pressure to do something that you don’t want to do.
You need to have a conversation with him and tell him that this behaviour must stop. Tell him that he cannot keep putting his sexual needs before your consent and self-worth.
I’m sending you my support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, to have this conversation.
If he refuses to change, consider walking away. My support pack called Ending a Relationship will help you if it comes to that.
