Manchester United will not be pressured into making a last-minute decision on future of Alejandro Garnacho.
The club must sell at least one high-profile player to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Several stars have been made available for transfer, including Marcus Rashford, who has a strong desire to join Barcelona.
Chelsea targeted Alejandro Garnacho earlier in the month, but United are determined not to be drawn into prolonged negotiations.
The Red Devils are clear—they do not want to sell him, but they will if a club meets their £70 million valuation.

However, any potential suitor, including Chelsea, must act fast if they want to complete a deal before Monday’s deadline.
According to GiveMeSport, United have set a strict cutoff point for negotiations, ending talks after Friday, January 31.
The reasoning behind this deadline is Ruben Amorim’s belief that waiting too long could leave the club without enough time to secure a suitable replacement.
United’s hierarchy is reluctant to weaken the squad so late in the window, especially with multiple outgoings already taking place.
Rashford’s future has become a major talking point, particularly following Amorim’s recent comments.
After United’s 1-0 win over Fulham, the Portuguese coach openly criticised Rashford’s effort and attitude in training.
That has fueled speculation that the 27-year-old could be on his way out before the deadline passes.
While Garnacho could still depart, Amorim is unlikely to sanction the exits of both wingers in one window.
Antony has already left on loan to Real Betis, further limiting United’s attacking options for the remainder of the season.
If Garnacho stays beyond Friday’s deadline, the expectation will be that Rashford is the one to move on.
Although Rashford’s preference is to remain in European football, Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli could test United’s resolve.
Reports suggest the Middle Eastern club is considering a significant take-it-or-leave-it offer in the final hours of the window.
