Fabrizio Romano has now told Manchester United fans what is going on with Alejandro Garnacho at Old Trafford amid interest from Chelsea in the Red Devils winger.
Alejandro Garnacho has been frozen out of the Manchester United first team under Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim and is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer.
The 21-year-old Argentina international fell out of favour with United manager Ruben Amorim and Garnacho was left out of the club’s pre-season summer tour.
Garnacho has been on the hunt for a new club after the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season and he has attracted interest from Chelsea and Napoli in the past.
Chelsea have maintained an interest in Garnacho and the Premier League club have been monitoring his situation at Old Trafford amid making a move for the winger.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has now explained that the deal between United and Chelsea for Garnacho is now in a “very, very advanced” stage.
“For Alejandro Garnacho, guys, talks in the background between Chelsea and Manchester United are well underway,” he explained on his YouTube channel.
“Chelsea are working on this Garnacho deal. Chelsea have an agreement with Garnacho, so I know that maybe in the media, it’s not that present.

Chelsea’s transfer interest intensifies in Man Utd outcast Alejandro Garnacho amid the transfer window
Garnacho had commanded a transfer value of around £70m amid the January window last season, with Chelsea and Napoli both interested in him at the time.
However, the United winger’s current situation and Garnacho’s fractured relationship with Ruben Amorim have seen the Chelsea-linked player’s transfer value take a knock.
United are believed to be holding out for a fee of around £50m for Garnacho and the Red Devils exile is keen on staying in England if he leaves Old Trafford.
Garnacho is reportedly open to Chelsea’s transfer interest and the Blues are hopeful in landing the Argentina international for below United’s £50m asking price.
