Latest update on Alejandro Garnacho's move to Chelsea

Chelsea Football Club has reached an agreement for Alejandro Garnacho to join them ahead of the upcoming season, as confirmed by renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano on August 8, 2025. The deal is said to be finalized pending discussions with Manchester United, where Garnacho currently plays.

The Portuguese international has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, with negotiations with United expected to follow soon. Garnacho's desire to leave Old Trafford was made clear after manager Ruben Amorim's departure, and Chelsea is optimistic that they can secure the young winger for a lower fee than United's initial valuation of him at £30 million.

The move is part of Chelsea's pursuit of Garnacho and Xavi Simons, with the club looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
