Villa are believed to want around £60m to sell Watkins, who was branded a ‘complete striker’ by new United signing Bryan Mbeumo this week. United are hoping to pay less to bring Watkins to Old Trafford and have now offered Garnacho as part of a swap deal, The Independent report.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed on his Italian Youtube channel that Aston Villa are interested in potentially signing Garnacho, providing further credence to this angle of the Independent report. The Independent does point out,

The Argentine winger—who was admittedly operating in dysfunctional frontline—averaged a Premier League goal or assist every 275 minutes last season. Watkins boasted a ratio of one every 108 minutes. The same approach has reportedly been raised in regards to a deal for Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson.
