Regarding the transfer progress between Manchester United forward Garnacho and Chelsea, the Argentine striker has stated that he is fully focused on joining the Blues.
Garnacho's future has been clear all along: he will leave this summer. Chelsea are engaged in behind-the-scenes negotiations with Manchester United, and the player himself has made his stance unambiguous—joining Chelsea is his only wish. Several weeks ago, the two parties had already reached an agreement on personal terms. Manchester United hopes to receive the funds as soon as possible, as this is a key component of their summer transfer budget.
In recent days, Chelsea have accelerated negotiations with United over Garnacho, and the deal is now closer to completion. According to previous reports, Garnacho himself has rejected approaches from Bayern Munich, who inquired about his situation and willingness to join in the past 48 hours, but the response was that he is waiting to join Chelsea. Sources have also indicated that he had previously finalized personal terms with Chelsea.
Garnacho’s message and future plans are crystal clear: he only wants to join Chelsea. Otherwise, he is willing to remain out of Manchester United’s squad until January next year, which is a definite plan.
After his relationship with manager Amorim broke down at the end of last season, Manchester United asked the Argentine winger to find a new club three months ago. However, as the September 1st transfer deadline draws near, Garnacho still remains at Old Trafford. It is widely believed that the 21-year-old is most likely to move to Stamford Bridge, but United will only allow his departure if the offer meets their expectations. The Red Devils firmly maintain that their valuation is entirely reasonable and evidence-based.
Nevertheless, as Manchester United CEO enjoys an excellent relationship with Chelsea’s senior management, negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, and the deal is expected to be completed eventually.
