On Saturday, Alejandro Garnacho’s future took a big turn when he was seen at Stamford Bridge ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League game against Fulham. The fact that the 20-year-old was in the stands all but confirmed reports that he is about to move to West London.
Garnacho’s visit comes after Chelsea and United have already agreed on terms. The Blues have agreed to pay about £40 million, and United put a 10% sell-on clause in the deal. Sources say that Garnacho is already in London and will have a medical exam before the transfer is finalized.
Garnacho will not play against Fulham even though he was there because the Blues have not yet registered him with the Premier League. If the paperwork is done on time, he could make his first appearance after the international break.
Their move for Garnacho comes at a very important time. Cole Palmer, their best attacker, is out with a groin injury, so Enzo Maresca doesn’t have enough firepower up front. Garnacho’s speed and direct style of play could give the team more attacking options right away and in the future.
Losing one of their top young players is a significant loss for Manchester United. Garnacho had some great moments at Old Trafford, but Chelsea’s ambitious project was too tempting for him. Now that the Argentine has signed with the Blues, fans will be excited to see him wear the shirt and make his mark in London. If the deal goes through quickly, the fans at Stamford Bridge may have a new star to cheer for before the end of the month.
Alejandro Garnacho’s fight with Amorim makes it easier for him to move to Chelsea
Alejandro Garnacho’s move to Chelsea comes after a big fight with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. After United lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final, tensions between the two grew. Garnacho only played 20 minutes, even though he had a great season. The winger spoke out about his anger, and his brother said Amorim had “left him under a bus,” which caused a lot of trouble behind the scenes.
During a team meeting, Amorim reportedly told Garnacho, “You better pray that you can find a club to sign you.” The Argentine was quickly kicked out of the first-team squad, left out of United’s preseason tour, and trained separately from the rest of the team.
