Chelsea are close to an agreement to sign Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho in a deal likely to be worth between 35m and 40m, with expectations United will lower a 50m asking price. Chelsea are confident the transfer will proceed and do not expect to wait for proposed sales of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson. The club must meet a UEFA settlement requiring a positive transfer balance to register new Champions League players, but Stamford Bridge sources describe fundraising pressure as exaggerated. Enzo Maresca values wide players and wants four wingers; Garnacho would compete with Jamie Gittens on the left. Chelsea conducted extensive background checks and believe Garnacho will flourish in a new environment.
