Romano says that talks have taken place between Chelsea and Garnacho regarding personal terms.
Talks have not yet begun between Chelsea and Man Utd, with the asking price of the Red Devils set to be key in deciding whether the transfer goes through.
Garnacho to Man Utd
Romano adds that we should not expect any imminent movement on this transfer.
Chelsea's priority right now is completing the transfer of Xavi Simons from Leipzig as well as then selling a number of players such as Christopher Nkunku.
But Garnacho has made it clear that he is absolutely prioritising a move to Chelsea, who are the club he wants to join.
Garnacho is transfer listed at Man Utd and has no future at the club.
He has been 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.
This past season Garnacho saw his star shine less bright, with just six goals and twoo assists in 36 Premier League games.
