Chelsea close to signing Alejandro Garnacho after deal with Manchester United

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentine winger set to reinforce the London club this season.

Agreement Reached After Long Negotiations

Garnacho has been a priority target for Chelsea’s board throughout the transfer window. Despite Manchester United’s resistance, the Blues persisted with their pursuit and finally secured a breakthrough after days of intense negotiations.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, both clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of around £40 million, with only final details pending before the deal is made official.

Player’s Preference Helped the Deal

The 20-year-old forward had made it clear his preference was Chelsea, rejecting more lucrative offers from the Middle East to remain in the Premier League. This determination played a crucial role in accelerating the agreement between the clubs.

Medical Tests and Contract Signing Next

Garnacho will soon travel to London to undergo medical examinations and is expected to sign a long-term contract with Chelsea, who are aiming to strengthen their attack under their new project.

An official announcement is expected in the coming days, confirming Garnacho as the latest addition to the reigning World Champions.
