Manchester United is ready to cash in on Alejandro Garnacho to fund their summer squad overhaul.

Ruben Amorim’s squad was open to offers during January, as any transfer fee earned represents full profit due to PSR regulations concerning academy graduates.

United might sell Garnacho in the summer.

talkSPORT understands United remains open to offers for the Argentine to help finance the acquisition of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

Garnacho, who has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid, is reportedly open to leaving Old Trafford due to difficulty in finding a defined role within Amorim’s preference for inverted wingers.

United aims to finalize the Cunha deal quickly, though Wolves are willing to accept payments in installments but expect the full £62.5 million release clause to be met.

Garnacho was one of the few standout United players early this season, scoring eight goals in the first 20 matches, but has only netted twice since November.

Delap’s dream move to Dortmund

Premier League teams may face competition from Borussia Dortmund to sign Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.

Delap is a top target for United this summer and is also attracting attention from up to ten other clubs, including Chelsea.

Ipswich is bracing for the loss of their leading scorer, whose release clause drops to as low as £30 million once relegation is confirmed.

Sources close to Delap told talkSPORT that he has interest from clubs outside of England, with Dortmund a possible contender. His preference is to join a Champions League club.

Czeching out

West Ham’s Czech fan-favorites Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal face uncertain futures.

Coufal’s contract expires at the end of the season, and he’s not expected to be offered an extension, as manager Graham Potter is targeting a more dynamic right-back.

As previously reported, the Hammers are leading the race to sign Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer from Southampton.

Soucek, meanwhile, is among a list of West Ham players the club could sell if the right offer arrives.

Everton manager David Moyes, a long-time admirer of the towering midfielder, could be interested.

Coufal and Soucek may leave West Ham.

Blues moves

Chelsea has intensified its interest in Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, but faces stiff competition from Liverpool and Arsenal.

Huijsen has a £50 million release clause in his Cherries contract and has held discussions with Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Arsenal.

Chelsea is keen to finalize a deal in time for him to play in the club World Cup in June.

However, the Spanish international reportedly favors a move to either Anfield or the Emirates.

Huijsen cost Bournemouth just £16 million from Juventus last summer.
