Liputan6.com, Jakarta Shocking news has emerged from the Premier League transfer market.
Talented young winger Alejandro Garnacho has officially completed his move from Manchester United to Chelsea.
The deal involved a staggering transfer fee of £40 million, which makes Garnacho the fourth-highest-rated player sale in Manchester United history.
It is also the Red Devils' largest sale of an academy graduate.
His relationship with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim had been bad and Chelsea became Garnacho's preferred choice amid interest from various other top European clubs.
Alejandro Garnacho's Transfer Details to Chelsea
Chelsea and Manchester United have finally agreed on a transfer fee of £40 million for Alejandro Garnacho.
This agreement also includes a 10% future release clause for Manchester United.
Negotiations were difficult after Chelsea's initial offer of £25 million was rejected.
This transfer places Garnacho on the list of Manchester United's most expensive sales, behind big names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku, and Angel Di María.
Uniquely, because he is an academy graduate, the entire £40 million fee will be pure profit for the club.
The 21-year-old will sign a long-term, seven-year contract with the Blues.
Alejandro Garnacho's medical is scheduled for Friday, August 29, 2025, as the final formality before he officially joins the Blues.
Alejandro Garnacho's move marks Chelsea's ninth signing of the summer of 2025.
The Background to Alejandro Garnacho's Move
Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with a move away from Manchester United throughout the summer of 2025.
This began after manager Ruben Amorim told him he could find another club.
Their relationship soured following the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham in May 2025, with Garnacho becoming dissatisfied with his playing time.
Despite strong interest from other major European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Napoli, and even Saudi Arabian Premier League clubs, Garnacho reportedly only wanted a move to Chelsea.
