Chelsea Agree £40m Deal to Sign Alejandro Garnacho From Manchester United

Exile under Ruben Amorim pushed the 21-year-old toward a London medical on Friday.

Overview

  • Chelsea and Manchester United have settled on a £40m fixed fee, with United keeping a 10% sell-on clause, according to multiple outlets.
  • A medical in London is scheduled for Friday before the winger finalises the move, with reports pointing to a long-term contract.
  • Talks progressed from an initial Chelsea offer of around £25m as United sought closer to £50m, and both clubs consider the outcome a pragmatic solution.
  • Garnacho has been training away from the first team after criticising Amorim over his Europa League final benching, leading to his summer exile.
  • The deal ranks as United’s fourth-largest sale and their biggest involving an academy graduate, with the player understood to have preferred Chelsea over other options.
