Chelsea are reportedly looking to offload Alejandro Garnacho and have set asking prices for the winger, much to Manchester United’s benefit, given their sell-on clause. United will potentially receive up to 10 percent of the transfer fee if Garnacho makes a move this summer.
The two Premier League giants recently concluded a deal involving Andrey Santos, with Chelsea receiving £48m plus £2m in add-ons. In light of this, the sell-on clause from United’s previous sale of Garnacho has re-emerged as a point of discussion. The Argentine was sold to Chelsea for £40m last summer but only spent one season with the west London side.
Chelsea’s Plans for Garnacho
As confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are prepared to let Garnacho leave on a permanent basis. Romano reports that Chelsea have set two separate asking prices, valuing the winger at €50m for foreign clubs and £45m for those within the Premier League. The club is currently working closely with Garnacho’s camp to facilitate a transfer.
Garnacho’s Potential Destinations
Interest is reportedly coming from AS Roma, who are keen on securing Garnacho but are only considering an initial loan. Chelsea are insisting on a permanent deal to move forward, which aligns with their strategy for the player. Notably, Napoli also appear interested, having previously tried to sign him when he was still at United. The Italian club may be willing to meet Chelsea’s asking price should they pursue Garnacho further this summer.
Financial Implications for Manchester United
If Chelsea manages to sell Garnacho to Roma for €50m, United would collect approximately £4.26m due to their 10 percent sell-on clause. Should Chelsea find a buyer within the Premier League and sell at their asking price of £45m, United would receive £4.5m. This financial aspect is pivotal for United as they look to navigate their own transfer needs.
The SportiveNews view
This situation for Garnacho hinges on Chelsea’s willingness to negotiate a permanent move and the interest from clubs like Roma and Napoli. With other potential Premier League suitors, the dynamics of the transfer market could shift, impacting the urgency for both clubs. Timing and prices will be instrumental in determining the final outcome for the player.
