Manchester United Agree £40m Sale of Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea

The 21-year-old pushed for the move after being left out of Rúben Amorim’s first-team plans.

Overview

  • Sky Sports reported the agreement and EFE corroborated it, with Fabrizio Romano stating the fee is £40 million as the move awaits routine formalities.
  • The £40m (€47m) payment will be booked as pure profit for financial fair play because Garnacho is an academy product.
  • The transfer would be United’s fourth-largest outgoing fee and their biggest academy sale, according to El Periódico.
  • Garnacho pressed to join Chelsea and rejected approaches from Bayern Munich and Middle Eastern clubs, TN reports, aiming to link up with Enzo Fernández.
  • He is 21 years old and has made 144 appearances for United, scoring 26 goals.
