Chelsea is nearing a deal to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United for around £40 million ($54m).
The Argentina forward has been told he can leave United this summer and hasn’t featured in Ruben Amorim’s team since last season. Garnacho was also left out of the preseason tour to the US and was made to train with other unwanted teammates, including Jadon Sancho and Antony.
Garnacho had previously rejected a move to Bayern Munich, insisting he only wants to join Chelsea. The Blues had initially expressed interest in signing him during the January transfer window, but the deal didn’t go through. Now, with Chelsea willing to pay around £35-£40 million, negotiations are progressing, and a transfer could be finalized before the August 31 deadline .
Key Details of the Potential Transfer:
- Transfer Fee: £35-£40 million
- Garnacho’s Preference: Only wants to join Chelsea
- Current Status: Negotiations are ongoing, and a deal is expected to be completed soon
- Reason for Leaving Manchester United: Garnacho hasn’t featured in Amorim’s plans since last season and was left out of the preseason tour
This potential transfer would be a significant addition to Chelsea’s squad, especially with Enzo Maresca looking to strengthen his team for the upcoming season .
