Chelsea and Manchester United have agreed a £40million fee for Alejandro Garnacho, Daily Mail Sport understands.

The switch will also include a 10 per cent sell-on fee.

Both clubs had been locked in negotiations over the deal this summer after the 21-year-old was told by Ruben Amorim to leave at the end of last season.

There had been a gap in valuation - with United said to have been holding out for around £50m - but a compromise has been reached. Garnacho is now expected to head to London to undergo his medical checks as soon as tomorrow.

The forward is set to sign a lucrative seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

Such was his desire to force through the move, Garnacho is said to have turned down all options other than joining the Blues or staying in United's 'bomb squad'.

The Argentina international had placed himself on a collision course with Amorim after publicly revealing his frustration at only being brought on as a late substitute in United's dismal Europa League final defeat by Tottenham in May.

His brother Roberto also stoked the fire by posting a message on social media criticising the head coach for throwing Garnacho 'under the bus'.
