Sky Sports reporter provides update on Chelsea’s pursuit of South American star

Chelsea are expected to make a formal offer for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.

The Blues have been busy this summer and have already made four summer signings in Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Chelsea are still working on a deal for Xavi Simons and are said to be locked in negotiations with Leipzig as they try to agree a fee for the 22-year-old.

Chelsea expected to make former offer for Garnacho

The Blues have been busy revamping their attack and if a deal for Simons goes through the Dutch international will be the fourth attacker signed this summer.

However, if Simons arrives he’s unlikely to be the last attacker through the door at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea pursuing a move for Garnacho.

Chelsea have reportedly agreed personal terms with Garnacho, and the deal is believed to be completely done on the player side.

Manchester United are said to want £50m for the Argentine, whilst it’s been reported Chelsea aren’t prepared to pay more than £30m.

The 21-year-old only wants Chelsea, and has given total priority to a move to Stamford Bridge, but an official offer hasn’t been made yet.

Sky Sports reporter Sheth has stated a formal offer is expected from Chelsea before the end of the transfer window.

Garnacho scored 11 goals and registered ten assists in 58 appearances in all competitions last season, but he’s almost certainly played his final game for United.
