Chelsea Complete £40m Signing of Alejandro Garnacho on Seven-Year Deal

His exit follows a months-long rift with Rúben Amorim at Manchester United.

Overview

  • Chelsea announced the 21-year-old winger on Saturday with a contract to June 2032 after agreeing a fixed £40 million fee, presenting him at Stamford Bridge in club media.
  • Garnacho was left out of United’s preseason and early matches under Amorim following public frustration over limited minutes, accelerating talks for a move he preferred to Chelsea.
  • Club videos featured a playful nod to Cristiano Ronaldo during his unveiling, and Garnacho watched Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Fulham as he begins integration under coach Enzo Maresca alongside Enzo Fernández.
  • Reports state United record the fee as homegrown income helpful for financial rules, with coverage also noting a 10% sell-on clause and that the deal ranks among the club’s biggest outgoing sales.
  • The Argentina international, recently omitted from national-team squads, said he is eager to restart his career in London to push for a place ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
