Chelsea on the verge of signing Alejandro Garnacho

Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal with Manchester United over the signing of Alejandro Garnacho.

A compromise over Garnacho’s valuation is set to be reached. United valued him at £50m – which was more than what Chelsea were prepared to pay.

Garnacho has turned down offers from other clubs because he wants to move to Chelsea.

The winger was told he could leave United at the end of last season and he is not training with their first-team squad.

There is increased confidence that a move will be completed before the transfer deadline next Monday.
