Chelsea have finally agreed a £40 million deal with Manchester United for winger Alejandro Garnacho, who will sign a long-term contract until 2032.
Chelsea Face Fire Sale with Six Stars Set for Exit After Garnacho Capture
The agreement includes a 10% sell-on clause for United, ensuring they benefit from any future transfer.
With Garnacho becoming Chelsea’s ninth summer signing, the club must now offload players to balance finances and comply with UEFA regulations.
Here are six stars likely to depart before Monday’s deadline:
Tyrique George
The 19-year-old winger, who contributed 18 goals and assists last season, is set to join Roma. Chelsea will demand £25 million with a significant sell-on clause, as George seeks regular first-team football.
Nicolas Jackson
With new attackers Joao Pedro and Liam Delap arriving, Jackson faces exclusion. Bayern Munich are interested, but Chelsea may delay his sale until the Alexander Isak transfer saga concludes.
Christopher Nkunku
AC Milan have agreed a £36 million deal for the French forward, who never settled at Stamford Bridge. Nkunku will sign a five-year contract with the Serie A side.
Axel Disasi
Exiled from the squad, Disasi is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia and Premier League clubs like Bournemouth. However, he is reluctant to move to the Gulf state.
Raheem Sterling
The winger has no future at Chelsea after a muted loan spell at Arsenal. Fulham could offer an escape route, but his high wages remain a hurdle.
Ben Chilwell
The out-of-favour defender, previously linked to Coventry City by former manager Frank Lampard, risks his career stalling if he stays. A move could provide revival opportunities.
Chelsea’s focus is now on sales to avoid UEFA sanctions and streamline their squad. With deadlines looming, expect frantic negotiations at Stamford Bridge.
