Man United Agree £40m Sale of Garnacho to Chelsea

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Manchester United to sign Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho for a fee around £40 million, including a 10% sell-on clause, making it the fourth-largest sale in United's history and the biggest for an academy graduate. Garnacho, 21, had fallen out of favor with United's manager Ruben Amorim, who informed him he was free to leave, leading Garnacho to prioritize a move to Chelsea. The winger has not played since the Europa League final defeat and has been training separately from the United first team since the start of the season. Chelsea view Garnacho as a Premier League-proven talent with significant potential and see him as a replacement for Jadon Sancho. The transfer benefits United by contributing pure profit under Premier League sustainability rules and aligns with their squad reshaping efforts, including other player sales and acquisitions. Garnacho is expected to complete his medical and could debut for Chelsea either after the September international break or in a match against Manchester United.
