Chelsea Agree Personal Terms with Alejandro Garnacho as Shock Move from Manchester United Edges Closer
The Manchester United starlet has reportedly reached full agreement with Chelsea on contract terms, rejecting offers from abroad as he makes the Blues his top priority this summer.
Chelsea have made a major step forward in their efforts to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, with the young winger reportedly agreeing to personal terms with the west London club.
According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea and Garnacho have reached full agreement on contract details after weeks of discussions. The 20-year-old Argentina international has made it clear that Chelsea is his top choice, turning down offers from clubs in Italy, Germany, and even Saudi Arabia, where he was reportedly offered huge wages.

Talks between Garnacho’s representatives and Chelsea have been ongoing for weeks, with Romano revealing that the story had already started to take shape as early as July. The Blues made Garnacho one of their top transfer priorities, and the player’s desire to move to Stamford Bridge has now made the situation more concrete.
Despite the agreement on personal terms, the deal is still far from complete. Chelsea and Manchester United are yet to agree on a transfer fee, and sources say there is currently a gap between the two clubs’ valuations of the player. However, negotiations are underway, and both sides are expected to continue talks in the coming days.
Garnacho has developed into one of Manchester United’s most promising young players over the past two seasons, known for his explosive pace, fearless dribbling, and ability to make a difference in big games. He scored several crucial goals last season and has been seen as a future star at Old Trafford. However, the opportunity to take a key role at Chelsea under their new project has proven too tempting to turn down.
Chelsea’s interest in Garnacho is part of a wider plan to strengthen their attacking options with young, high-potential talent. The club is also actively pursuing Xavi Simons, the Dutch attacking midfielder currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, who spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig.
If Chelsea manage to pull off a deal for Garnacho, it would be one of the most surprising and dramatic transfers of the summer. A move between two Premier League giants is rare, especially involving a player of Garnacho’s age and potential. But with personal terms agreed and Garnacho fully committed to joining Chelsea, all eyes are now on the two clubs to see if they can reach a deal.
As it stands, Chelsea remain confident, while Manchester United may now face pressure to make a decision on whether to keep or cash in on one of their brightest prospects.
