Chelsea agree 'every detail of personal terms' with Alejandro Garnacho as Blues prepare to make bid to Man Utd

According to Fabrizio Romano, Garnacho is close to securing a transfer to Stamford Bridge this summer after agreeing personal terms with Chelsea. The Argentine winger is determined to sign for the Blues, who will now initiate talks with United over their valuation of the player. 

The BBC reported on Thursday that the Red Devils have set an asking price of £50 million ($67m) for Garnacho. The Argentina international has been expected to depart since the start of the summer transfer window after being told by manager Ruben Amorim to find a new club.

The amount that United will receive from Garnacho's transfer will be logged as pure profit and will benefit the club in terms of the profit and sustainability rules of the Premier League. The 21-year-old joined the Red Devils' youth system from Atletico Madrid in 2022 and two years later he made his professional debut.

As talks with United are expected to progress in the coming days, Chelsea are also pursuing a move for Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. The Red Devils, meanwhile, are closing in on the signing of Simons' team-mate Benjamin Sesko.
