Garnacho leaves MU for record price

Man Utd agreed to sell Garnacho to Chelsea and collect a record fee for a "home-grown" player.

Garnacho joined Chelsea.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United for 46.2 million euros. If Chelsea sells the Argentine player in the future, MU will receive 10% of the total transfer fee.

Garnacho will become the highest-paid sale of a "Homegrown" player in Man Utd's history, surpassing the record of David Beckham when he joined Real Madrid for 37.5 million euros more than 2 decades ago. The Garnacho deal also helps MU clean up the books, as the entire transfer fee is considered "pure profit".

The 21-year-old star will be in London for a medical today (August 29), before signing a contract until 2032 with the FIFA Club World Cup champions.

At the age of 21, Garnacho has 144 appearances for the MU first team, including 93 appearances in the Premier League, along with 16 goals.

The Argentine winger possesses good speed and technique and was once expected to become the "new Cristiano Ronaldo". However, Garnacho was released because he did not fit the tactics of new coach Ruben Amorim. The relationship between the Portuguese coach and Garnacho officially broke down when he publicly criticized the club after the defeat in the Europa League final.

Garnacho has loved Chelsea since he was a child. He has received many offers this summer, including a dream salary in Saudi Arabia, but he turned them all down to wait for "The Blues".
