Chelsea have agreed a deal with Manchester United to sign winger Alejandro Garnacho, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The two clubs had been locked in talks over a deal for the 21-year-old this summer after he was told by Reds boss Ruben Amorim that he had no future at Old Trafford. However, there had been a gap in valuation.
But a deal worth £40m plus a 10% sell-on clause has now been agreed and the player is set to travel to London for a medical imminently to complete a move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea and Man Utd Agree Garnacho Deal
Alejandro Garnacho in action for Manchester United
Garnacho, who has been described as "phenomenal", had already agreed personal terms with Chelsea in advance, as exclusively revealed by GIVEMESPORT correspondent Romano, and had made it clear that he only wanted to join Enzo Maresca's side.
It was even reported that the Argentina international rejected a recent approach from Bayern Munich too after giving his word to the Club World Cup champions, and now he is set to get his wish.
Romano reports that a deal has been agreed worth £40m, including a 10% sell-on clause, in a deal that both parties are happy with. Garnacho will sign a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
The move became a possibility when Amorim made it clear he didn't want Garnacho in his squad going forward, with the player made part of the 'bomb squad' this summer and left out of the pre-season tour, while also being left out of the opening day defeat to Arsenal.
Chelsea have already completed several deals to improve their attacking options this summer with the arrivals of Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, while Brazil youngster Estevao has also linked up following his move from Palmeiras which was agreed last year.
Noni Madueke and Joao Felix have already moved on, while the Blues have also agreed a deal to sell Christopher Nkunku to AC Milan and both Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling are expected to leave before the transfer window closes on September 1st.
