Chelsea hoping to agree bargain £25m fee with Man Utd for Alejandro Garnacho following weeks of negotiations for winger

Alejandro Garnacho Chelsea

Chelsea are hoping to negotiate a bargain £25 million ($33.7m) transfer fee with Manchester United for their out-of-favour winger Alejandro Garnacho before the summer transfer window closes. Garnacho is in Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' after his fallout with the manager following the Europa League final loss to Tottenham last season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Garnacho has been frozen out of United's first-team squad and is unlikely to play under Amorim again. He has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer, with Chelsea being deemed as favourites to sign the Argentine winger.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

According to the Daily Mail, the Blues are now hoping to reduce the Red Devils' £50 million ($67m) asking price for Garnacho as they are prepared to negotiate and bring down the fee to between £25m and £35m. With the transfer window closing next Monday, United might be forced to sell the 21-year-old below their previous valuation.

DID YOU KNOW?

Garnacho has offers from several top European sides, including German champions Bayern Munich, but the Argentina international has reportedly made up his mind to only move to Stamford Bridge.
