“I don’t want my dirty laundry aired out for the public” – Carlton Cole warns Chelsea about signing £60 million-rated transfer target

Former Chelsea striker Carlton Cole has warned his former club about signing Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho this summer. The Argentine forward will reportedly be available for £60 million, with Chelsea among the interested clubs to sign him.

Carlton Cole’s advice came in the context of Alejandro Garnacho’s recent comments about his future at Manchester United. Amid growing exit rumors, Garnacho did not hesitate to show his frustration towards coach Ruben Amorim’s decision to leave him out of the starting XI of the Europa League final. The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, with Garnacho getting only 20 minutes of playtime.

In an appearance on The Dressing Room Podcast, Carlton Cole addressed Alejandro Garnacho’s recent comments. He warned Chelsea about their intentions of signing him this summer. He said (via Metro UK):

Cole added that such comments can influence other clubs’ decision to pursue his signature and said:

It remains to be seen where Alejandro Garnacho heads this summer. Apart from Chelsea, Napoli are also believed to be interested in securing his services.

In the aforementioned episode of The Dressing Room Podcast, former Chelsea winger Joe Cole also shared his thoughts on Alejandro Garnacho’s behaviour. He agreed with Carlton Cole and said (via Metro UK):

He continued:

Alejandro Garnacho didn’t have a great season individually either, contributing 11 goals and 10 assists in 58 outings across competitions. Manchester United are in dire need of attacking reinforcements, so it will not be surprising if they let Garnacho leave to make way for another signing.
