Man Utd rejected Lavia swap for Garnacho from Chelsea
Manchester United reportedly declined a swap deal that would have sent Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea in exchange for Romeo Lavia, despite Pep Guardiola’s prior praise for the ex-Man City midfielder.
According to a report from ESPN, Manchester United reportedly turned down the chance of swapping Alejandro Garnacho for Romeo Lavia this summer, despite the Chelsea star previously impressing Pep Guardiola.
This decision has put a spotlight on the Reds’ current midfield situation, where the deal “could have gone a long way in addressing the Reds’ midfield woes at present.”
Garnacho ultimately completed a £40million move to Stamford Bridge, following speculation about his future after the forward criticised his club’s “lacklustre Premier League campaign which saw them finish at a lowly 15th.”
United’s decision to pursue a straight cash sale comes after their interest in Brighton’s Carlos Baleba stalled due to his club’s prohibitive £100m price tag, and with Casemiro “entering the twilight years of his career.”
Lavia, who secured a move to Chelsea for a fee thought to be in the region of £58m, initially broke through the Manchester City youth academy in 2021 before moving to Southampton, where he racked up 34 appearances.
His talent did not go unnoticed by his former manager, with Guardiola saying: “I am really impressed with what Romeo has done and is doing.
We had, and we have, an incredible opinion about him. We thought to keep him, but maybe he would not (get) enough minutes like he has in Southampton.”
Despite the missed opportunity, United are tipped to re-enter the transfer market when it reopens in January.

Preview: Nagelsmann’s Germany eye World Cup 2026 spot vs Luxembourg
Germany, led by Julian Nagelsmann, heads to Luxembourg seeking a decisive win to maintain their top spot in Group A and inch closer to World Cup 2026 qualification, despite defensive concerns and tactical squad omissions.
Germany, currently leading Group A in World Cup 2026 qualifying, travels to the Stade de Luxembourg on Friday to face bottom-placed Luxembourg in a match where coach Julian Nagelsmann will demand professionalism to secure a decisive step toward qualification.
Germany is preparing to face Luxembourg in their penultimate World Cup 2026 qualifying fixture, looking to maintain their top spot in Group A, according to a report from Bulinews.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side currently sits level on nine points with Slovakia but holds the advantage with a superior goal difference of 8:3.
The 25-man German squad features a blend of talent, including veterans like Joshua Kimmich and Florian Wirtz, alongside first-time senior call-ups Assan Ouédraogo and Said El Mala.
RB Leipzig teammate David Raum praised Ouédraogo’s inclusion, stating: “He’s earned it. He’s been too modest about himself – on the pitch, he has an incredible physical presence.”
However, the German defence faces potential disruption as Nico Schlotterbeck remains a major doubt due to a foot injury, with Nagelsmann confirming the situation “doesn’t look ideal.”
Malick Thiaw and Waldemar Anton are ready to partner Jonathan Tah should Schlotterbeck miss the match.
Luxembourg, who have conceded ten goals in four matches, can no longer mathematically reach second place.
Head coach Jeff Strasser is focused on restoring pride and giving a strong account of themselves in the remaining fixtures, likely employing a compact formation to counter Germany’s attack.
Germany previously cruised to a 4-0 victory when the teams met last month.
1. Match Summary
A thrilling encounter between 1. FC Heidenheim and VfB Stuttgart ended in a 3-3 draw. The match saw a flurry of goals, disallowed goals after VAR reviews, and late drama. Chris Führich scored twice for Stuttgart, while Eren Dinkçi, Arijon Ibrahimović (penalty), and Christian Joe Conteh found the net for Heidenheim. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions, with both teams showing attacking intent.
2. Team Performance Analysis
VfB Stuttgart dominated possession with 66% of the ball and a significantly higher pass accuracy of 83% compared to Heidenheim's 68%. They also had more total shots (12) and shots on goal (7). However, their expected goals (xG) of 2.29 didn't fully translate into goals, with two being disallowed by VAR. This suggests they created good chances but were perhaps unlucky or lacked clinical finishing.
1. FC Heidenheim, despite being heavily outpossessed, were clinical in their attacking play, converting a higher percentage of their chances. Their 10 shots, all from inside the box, demonstrate a focus on getting into dangerous areas. They committed more fouls (13) than Stuttgart (7), indicating a more physical approach to disrupting play. Their goalkeeper, Diant Ramaj, made 4 crucial saves to keep them in the game. Their xG of 2.00 aligns well with their goal tally, suggesting they took their opportunities effectively.
The statistics highlight a clear difference in playing style: Stuttgart preferred to control the game through possession, while Heidenheim opted for a more direct, counter-attacking approach.
