Alejandro Garnacho Agrees Personal Terms with Chelsea Amid Transfer Talks with Manchester United
In a major development in the summer transfer window, Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, according to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Argentine winger is now awaiting the outcome of negotiations between Chelsea and Manchester United, which are expected to begin soon.
Garnacho Eager to Join Chelsea
Sources close to the deal say Garnacho has shown a strong desire to join Stamford Bridge since last month. The player has already reached a personal agreement on the contract he will sign if Manchester United approves his transfer.
Though still under contract with the Red Devils, the talented winger has recently been training separately, signaling a possible departure. Garnacho has made 42 appearances under manager Ruben Amorim, starting in 26 of them, but his long-term future at Old Trafford appears uncertain.
Manchester United-Chelsea Negotiations to Start Soon
While official discussions between the two Premier League giants have yet to begin, they are expected to open shortly. Garnacho’s market value is estimated at €59.6 million, and given Chelsea’s financial capacity, a deal could be within reach.
Chelsea’s Transfer Strategy: Sales Balancing the Books
Despite frequent scrutiny of Chelsea’s finances, the club has seen numerous high-profile departures this summer, potentially freeing up room for new signings like Garnacho. Some of the notable exits include:
-
Marcus Bettinelli (€2.4M to Manchester City)
-
Bashir Humphreys (€14M to Burnley)
-
Kepa Arrizabalaga (€5.8M to Arsenal)
-
Gabriel Slonina, Marc Guiu, Malang Sarr, and others on loan deals
-
Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana, and João Félix have also left, with João Félix moving to Al Nassr for €30 million
-
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (€28.7M to Everton)
-
Ugochukwu (€28.7M to Burnley)
These departures are expected to balance the club’s wage bill and spending, aligning with financial fair play regulations and opening the door for major new arrivals.
What’s Next?
With personal terms agreed, the ball is now in Manchester United’s court. If Chelsea can convince them to release Garnacho, the Blues will secure one of the most promising young wingers in European football.
