Chelsea closing in on Garnacho as United’s reshuffle continues.
Chelsea Steps Up Pursuit of Garnacho
Chelsea is edging closer to sealing a deal for Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, with talks valued at around £40 million ($54m). Sources say negotiations have picked up pace in recent days, and both clubs are working toward an agreement before the transfer deadline at 7 p.m. BST next Monday.
The 21-year-old forward has already been told he can leave Old Trafford this summer. Since the end of last season, he hasn’t featured under United boss Ruben Amorim. He was also left out of the club’s preseason tour to the United States, instead training with fellow sidelined players Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, and Antony.
United Struggles to Offload Fringe Players
Rashford has already secured a loan move to Barcelona, but United still hasn’t managed to find clubs for the rest. Garnacho, though, has made his preference clear. Earlier this month, he rejected Bayern Munich’s offer, making it known he only wants Chelsea.
The Stamford Bridge side had shown interest back in January, but a deal failed to happen. This summer, Chelsea made an offer of £30 million ($40m), while United pushed for a figure closer to £50 million ($67m).
Chelsea Balancing Transfers and UEFA Compliance
Chelsea’s efforts to sign Garnacho hit a pause in recent weeks due to UEFA’s financial regulations. To meet the rules, the club has been trying to move on players from last season’s Conference League-winning squad, with Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson among those linked with departures.
Talks have now resumed between Chelsea and United, and the two sides are believed to be closing in on an agreement worth between £35 million and £40 million. Sources suggest the deal could be wrapped up before the transfer window shuts.
Conclusion
Chelsea looks set to complete one of the standout transfers of the summer with Garnacho on the brink of joining. If the deal goes through, the young Argentine forward will swap Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge, giving Enzo Maresca’s squad a fresh attacking option for the season ahead.
