LONDON, UK – A transfer for Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea is considered to be “very advanced,” with all parties expecting the deal to be completed before the transfer window closes.
The 21-year-old winger has made his desire to join Chelsea unequivocally clear, rejecting a recent approach from the Saudi Pro League to reinforce his stance.
The Argentine international has reportedly turned down an offer from the Middle East in the last 48 hours, signaling his firm commitment to continuing his career at the highest level of European football.
His preference for Chelsea has been a driving force behind the negotiations, with the player determined to make the move despite the interest of other clubs.
While a final agreement is expected, talks between the two clubs are ongoing over the deal’s structure and transfer fee.
Manchester United reportedly values the player at £50 million, while Chelsea’s initial offers have been closer to £30 million.
The clubs are now working to bridge that gap and finalize a deal that could also include add-ons or other terms.
Garnacho’s impending departure from Manchester United has been a widely discussed topic, with the player not in the plans of manager Ruben Amorim.
For Chelsea, the signing would be a major coup, adding a dynamic young talent to their attack.
For United, it represents an opportunity to secure a substantial fee for a player who is not part of the current project.
