Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has now agreed personal terms with Chelsea, with a deal now advanced, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford has been uncertain during the summer transfer window after he fell out of favour under Ruben Amorim. The former Atletico Madrid man failed to featured for the Red Devils during pre-season, and he’s clearly not part of Amorim’s plans ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign.
Chelsea Agree Personal Terms With Garnacho
Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Alejandro Garnacho, GMS understands. The Manchester United winger is waiting for a move to Stamford Bridge, and club-to-club talks are advanced. Manchester United insist on receiving £50m for the Argentine international, arguing that Garnacho should not be sold for less than the £52m that saw Noni Madueke move from Chelsea to Arsenal earlier this summer.
However, Chelsea know Manchester United need outgoings, especially if they are to pull off an audacious swoop for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. Garnacho, described as ‘incredible’ by Rasmus Hojlund, represents pure profit on the books, and Chelsea are hoping to strike a deal south of £40m.
Both clubs anticipate reaching an agreement before the window ends with Garnacho making it clear to Manchester United he wants to leave. Chelsea are also focused on outgoings, and it is possible they will wait for Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson to depart before attempting to formalise the Garnacho deal.
Nkunku is of interest to Leipzig and Bayern, while Jackson could yet be the subject of a Newcastle United approach. Milan are also keen, but focused for now on trying to sign Rasmus Hojlund on a loan with a buy option. Chelsea also remain in talks for Xavi Simons, but are yet to reach an agreement on fee with Leipzig. Simons has agreed personal terms ahead of a possible move to Stamford Bridge.
