Alejandro Garnacho has opened up about the reasons behind his move to Chelsea, explaining how a personal video call with manager Enzo Maresca played a major role in his decision. The Argentine winger completed a 40 million transfer from Manchester United in August 2025, a move reported by Softfootball .
Garnacho revealed, in a post shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account , that Chelsea's vision under Maresca was what ultimately convinced him to make the switch. He said:
That conversation gave him clarity on the tactical system Maresca wants to build, one that suits creative, fearless wingers capable of taking on defenders in one-on-one duels. It's a style that has already been evident in recent games, including Chelsea's defeat to Sunderland, where the Argentine scored his first Chelsea goal, as reported by Softfootball .
