Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea.
The 21-year-old's relationship with Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has broken down, and he will therefore be leaving Man United during this summer's transfer window, with Chelsea the heavy favourites to sign him.
Napoli and Atletico Madrid have been credited with an interest in the Argentina international, but it is understood that he is determined to remain in the Premier League.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Garnacho has now 'agreed every detail of personal terms with Chelsea', with the deal now done on the player side.
However, a switch to Stamford Bridge is not imminent, as the Club World Cup holders have not yet come to an agreement with Man United over a fee for the forward, and that is likely to prove troublesome.

Garnacho 'agrees personal terms' with Chelsea
At the start of the summer transfer window, Man United are believed to have been asking for £70m for Garnacho, but Chelsea are not believed to be willing to pay more than £30m.
Man United's valuation of the former Atletico youngster is now thought to be in the region of £45m, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea are prepared to go that amount for him.
Garnacho is believed to have made it clear to Man United at the start of last month that he only wanted to join Chelsea this summer, and the Blues are now stepping up their interest in him.
Chelsea are also still pursuing RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, with Enzo Maresca's team looking to further boost their attack with a couple more additions before the end of the summer transfer window.

Would Garnacho be a good signing for Chelsea?
Garnacho is an incredibly talented footballer, and he was one of Man United's most productive players during a hugely difficult 2024-25 campaign for the Premier League giants.
Indeed, Garnacho scored 11 goals and registered 10 assists in 58 appearances last term, but he fell out with Amorim following the Europa League final, having been named on the bench for the clash with Tottenham.
The forward is set to leave Man United with a record of 26 goals and 22 assists in 144 appearances, which are impressive numbers for a player in the early stages of his career.
However, there have been ongoing concerns at Old Trafford regarding his attitude, and with Chelsea already well-stocked in the forward areas, it remains to be seen whether he is the right signing for the Blues at this stage.
