Romano says that personal terms have now been agreed between Chelsea and Garnacho, and all that is remaining to complete the transfer is to settle on the fee.
The Italian journalist says that the two clubs are in ongoing discussions to negotiate the fee but Garnacho will surely become a Chelsea player this summer.
Garnacho to Chelsea
Garnacho has made it clear that he only wants a move to Chelsea, despite interest from other clubs around Europe.
The winger is transfer listed at Man Utd and has no future at the club.
He was left out of United's preseason tour of the United States alongside Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho - all of whom will also depart this summer.
Garnacho was close to leaving Man Utd during the January transfer window after agreeing personal terms with Napoli.
Napoli were locked in negotiations with Garnacho for over a fortnight during January as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after the Georgian star joined PSG for €75 million.
However, the two clubs failed to agree a fee and Garnacho ended up staying.
Garnacho has been unsettled at Old Trafford for some time, and has not shown his best form under manager Ruben Amorim.
The 21-year-old Garnacho was one of the few bright lights of Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United.
He was one of the breakout stars in the Premier League in 2022-23, making eight goal contributions from 10 starts and 29 appearances.
He had a string of memorable performances, including the winner against Real Sociedad in the Europa League which made him the youngest foreign player to ever score for Man Utd in European competition.
Garnacho broke a string of records, and also starred in the Manchester derby, assisting Marcus Rashford’s winner in the 2-1 victory over Man City.
In 2023-24 Garnacho continued to impress, with 10 goals in all competitions. He scored in the 2-1 FA Cup final win over Man City, hit a memorable brace in the 4-3 victory over Chelsea and scored the goal of the season with a stunning bicycle kick against Everton.
Last season Garnacho saw his star shine less bright, with just six goals and twoo assists in 36 Premier League games.
