Chelsea signals maximum fee to be paid for Garnacho’s signing

Blues remain interested in Argentine winger but reluctant to meet United’s €59 million valuation

Chelsea have set a firm ceiling on how much they are willing to pay for Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho, as the club continues to search for attacking reinforcements. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the West London side has capped its maximum bid for the 20-year-old Argentine at €35–41 million, signaling a more cautious approach in the transfer market.

Garnacho remains a priority target for Chelsea as the club looks to bolster its options on the wings. With concerns over depth and form in wide areas, the Blues see Garnacho as a player with significant upside and Premier League experience.

However, Manchester United have reportedly placed a much higher valuation on the winger, demanding close to €59 million. While the Red Devils have not closed the door on a potential transfer, they consider Garnacho a valuable asset for the future and are unwilling to negotiate below their asking price.

Chelsea Unlikely to Increase Offer

Chelsea’s board, however, believes United’s valuation is inflated and does not reflect Garnacho’s current market worth. Club officials have made it clear that they will not exceed their internal limit, and may walk away from the deal if terms do not improve.

Though formal negotiations between the two clubs have yet to progress significantly, Garnacho is said to be open to the idea of a move to Stamford Bridge. His interest could be key in pushing any potential deal forward, should United lower their demands.

Blues Maintain Strategic Approach

With Financial Fair Play constraints in mind, Chelsea have been more calculated in their recent transfer strategy, focusing on young, high-potential players without overpaying. Garnacho fits that profile, but only within the parameters the club deems financially reasonable.

As it stands, Chelsea continue to monitor the situation closely, but unless United soften their stance, a breakthrough appears unlikely in the short term.
