Chelsea Complete £40m Signing of Alejandro Garnacho From Manchester United

The £40m move on a seven-year contract follows a breakdown with Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • Chelsea announced the winger on a deal to 2032 after he watched a 2-0 win over Fulham and said he was delighted to join.
  • The transfer is for a reported fixed £40m with a 10% sell-on clause, agreed after an initial £25m offer was negotiated up from United’s higher valuation.
  • Garnacho had fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim, was excluded from pre-season, and trained away from the first team before the move.
  • He leaves United with 144 senior appearances and 26 goals, including scoring in the 2024 FA Cup final, in what is the club’s fourth-largest sale and a record for an academy graduate.
  • He becomes Chelsea’s ninth summer signing, taking outlay close to £300m as Enzo Maresca adds another wide option to his attack.
