“Completed his Chelsea medical” – Blues close on major summer signing after latest Ben Jacobs update | OneFootball

Alejandro Garnacho has completed his Chelsea medical as he closes in on a move to Stamford Bridge according to Ben Jacobs.

Chelsea agreed a deal with Manchester United for Garnacho on Thursday evening believed to be worth a total package of £40m.

Garnacho has been patiently waiting for Chelsea and turned down approaches from Bayern Munich and a club in Saudi Arabia.

The 21-year-old will become Chelsea’s fourth attacking signing of the window after Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens.

Chelsea have revamped their attack this summer , and Garnacho is likely to compete with Gittens for a place on the left wing.

The Argentine won’t make his Chelsea debut until after the international break, and needs time to get up to speed having not had a proper pre-season.

However, his move to Chelsea is edging ever closer, and Jacobs has provided an important update on the situation.

He took to X.com and said:

“Alejandro Garnacho has completed his Chelsea medical ahead of signing a seven-year contract at Chelsea.”

There’s a possibility Garnacho could be presented to the fans at Stamford Bridge ahead of the game against Fulham on Saturday lunchtime.

Garnacho scored 11 goals and registered ten assists in 58 appearances for United in all competitions last season, and Chelsea will be hoping to see the same level of output at a bare minimum.

Fermin Lopez to swap Barcelona for Chelsea?

Chelsea are still looking to add another attacker, and that was expected to be Xavi Simons, but the 22-year-old has now joined Tottenham.

The Blues have alternative targets and are interested in Lopez, although it’s thought a deal is difficult to do at this stage, and would be expensive.

Chelsea have held talks with Lopez and are trying to convince the player before initiating contact with Barcelona, but the clock is ticking until the end of the window, and something needs to happen fast if the Blues are going to pull that deal off.
