Chelsea are very close to reaching an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Alejandro Garnacho according to reports.

The Blues are set for a busy end to the window, and still have a number of players they are looking to move on before Monday’s deadline.

Chelsea are also looking to close deals for both Xavi Simons and Garnacho as they look to add more attacking threat to Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Chelsea close to Alejandro Garnacho agreement with Man United

The Blues have already signed three attackers this summer in Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap, whilst Estevao has also arrived after a deal was agreed with Palmeiras last summer.

Noni Madueke and Jadon Sancho have left, whilst Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Tyrique George are all set to move on before the end of the window.

The attack has undergone somewhat of a revamp and the next player through the door is likely to be Garnacho, who was first linked with Chelsea back in January.

Those links have continued throughout the summer, and Chelsea have reportedly agreed personal terms with Garnacho.

Garnacho has turned down approaches from Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia, and has made it clear he only wants Chelsea.

A move is now close, and The Telegraph have reported Chelsea are close to reaching an agreement with United in a deal which will be worth between £35-£40m.

When Garnacho arrives he will provide Chelsea with another option on the left wing, and will compete with Gittens for that position.
