Chelsea secures transfer of Man Utd discarded player Garnacho
In a significant move for the Premier League, Alejandro Garnacho has completed his transfer from Manchester United to Chelsea for a reported fee of £40m. The Argentine international, who won the Puskas Award for the 2023-24 season, expressed his excitement about joining the world champions.
Garnacho, who broke into the first team at Manchester United in 2022, watched Chelsea's recent performances, including their Club World Cup campaign, which seemed to have left a lasting impression. His statement, "I can't wait to get started. I watched the Club World Cup and to join the world champions is special - we're the best team in the world!", reflects his belief in Chelsea's prowess.
The transfer comes at a time when Chelsea have cancelled Nicolas Jackson's proposed move to Bayern Munich, indicating a shift in the club's transfer strategy. Enzo Maresca, the Italian head coach of Chelsea Football Club, is actively managing the team during the period when Garnacho joined the squad in 2025.
Garnacho's departure from Manchester United comes after a contentious spell out of the first-team picture, following Ruben Amorim's plans. Despite this, Garnacho managed to score 26 goals in 144 appearances for the Red Devils. His most memorable goal was an overhead kick against Everton at Goodison Park, which won him the Puskas Award.
The news of Garnacho's transfer was announced just days after Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over Fulham in a heated Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. With Garnacho's addition to the squad, Chelsea fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming matches and the contributions the young talent is expected to make.
However, the transfer also comes with a slight setback as Liam Delap, another promising youngster, sustained an injury that is expected to keep him out for up to two months. Nonetheless, the arrival of Garnacho is expected to bolster Chelsea's attacking options and provide a fresh impetus to their title challenge.
