Garnacho rejected approaches from Italy, Germany, and a highly lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. Total agreement is in place between the player and Chelsea on contract terms, after it emerged that the Blues have been his priority since July.
Manchester United have set a £50 million price tag on the winger, who is likely to leave Old Trafford this summer. The Red Devils are moving closer to finalising the transfer of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
United have already added Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, and the deal for Sesko is in its final stages. The new attacking arrivals raise serious doubts over Garnacho’s long-term future at the club.
The Argentine was among five players allowed to join pre-season preparations later, and a public statement from Amorim that he must leave makes it clear that Garnacho is not part of the manager’s future plans. Chelsea, whose interest dates back several months, now appear set to land the player.
