Garnacho is a left-wing target and the deal is separate to the club’s ongoing pursuit of Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.

Man United boss Ruben Amorim has made it clear Garnacho is not part of his plans

The Argentine winger is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge, while Chelsea want another left-sided reinforcement.

They chose not to buy Jadon Sancho, overriding an obligation of up to £25million by paying a £5m penalty to Manchester United.

And with Mykhailo Mudryk unavailable after being charged by the FA for an anti-doping violation, and Sporting winger Geovany Quenda not arriving until summer 2026, the Blues believe another winger is needed.

This could also pave the way for Tyrique George to be loaned out or even leave the club permanently this summer.

talkSPORT understands Chelsea value Garnacho at around £30m and have left talks until late in the window, working under the impression the price for the 21-year-old Argentine will drop.

A loan with a conditional obligation is also not ruled out, although Man United sources insist they want a permanent exit.

United have valued Garnacho as high as £60m, especially back in January when both Chelsea and Napoli enquired.

Why is Garnacho leaving Man United?

Garnacho has no future at Old Trafford after being told he can leave the club by manager Ruben Amorim.

The Man United boss hasn’t included the winger in this pre-season and a move away has long been expected.

He has spent five years at the Red Devils, but after a season in which he scored six goals in 36 Premier League games, he has been told he’s free to find a new club.
