- Transfer Fee: Manchester United is looking for £50 million, but Chelsea wants to strike a deal for south of £40 million. Recent reports suggest Manchester United has lowered their asking price to £40 million to facilitate a quicker exit.
- Personal Terms: Garnacho has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, and club-to-club discussions are underway. The winger is reportedly keen on joining Chelsea due to the club’s status as a top-six Premier League team and Champions League participation.
- Medical Tests: While there’s no official announcement on the medical tests, reports suggest they might take place early next week after the clubs finalize the deal.
- Potential Swap Deal: There’s speculation about a potential swap deal involving Garnacho and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson or Christopher Nkunku, but no official agreement has been reached. Manchester United might consider a swap deal, valuing Garnacho at £50 million, similar to Chelsea’s valuation of Jackson.
Garnacho’s preference for Chelsea is clear, and the Blues are reportedly confident about signing him. With Garnacho’s talent and Chelsea’s ambition, this transfer could be a win-win for both parties ¹.
