Historic Transfer Ranking
This move is set to become Manchester United’s fourth highest outgoing transfer. Only the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo (94 million euros), Romelu Lukaku (74 million euros), and Ángel Di María (63 million euros) have attracted greater sums for the club. Garnacho, an Argentine international, is due to sign a seven-year contract with the London-based side.
| Player | Destination Club | Transfer Fee (euros) |
|---|---|---|
| Cristiano Ronaldo | Real Madrid | 94 million |
| Romelu Lukaku | Inter Milan | 74 million |
| Ángel Di María | Paris Saint-Germain | 63 million |
| Alejandro Garnacho | Chelsea | 46 million (including bonuses) |
Competition for Garnacho’s Signature
Garnacho reportedly attracted interest from several major clubs, with teams from Saudi Arabia and German side Bayern Munich expressing their desire to sign the winger. The player, however, was keen to join Chelsea. That ambition will now be realised following protracted negotiations spanning more than a month.
