But then, if it is so low risk, then it is interesting that so far nobody has bitten. There seems to be very little interest aside from Chelsea, which is slightly surprising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou would have thought maybe he\u2019s a deal that\u2019s doable for quite a few clubs that are just under the main big teams. That sort of Europa League tier of teams maybe. I guess it\u2019s limited numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrance is never going to be an option outside of PSG. I guess maybe Marseille, but very few teams now in France can do any sort of major business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, then you\u2019re looking at Germany. Yes, there are two or three teams in Germany that could do this deal. In Italy, it\u2019s a bit harder, maybe two or three again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen Spain, he really doesn\u2019t seem to be interesting for Barca or Real, and he\u2019s definitely doable for Atletico, but they seem not to have moved for him, which was once touted as being a potential option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, beyond that, then you\u2019re looking at teams that maybe even at \u00a330million, it\u2019s a tough deal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea have been told that a move for Man Utd winger Alejandro Garnacho is a \u201cno-brainer\u201d if the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[1682,885,94,225,98,12,101,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-320403","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-alejandro-garnacho","9":"tag-chelsea","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-manchester-united","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114977428131798133","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
