Fabrizio Romano now confirmed that there is a deal underway between United and Chelsea, but has not yet given his signature ‘Here We Go.’ Chelsea have struggled significantly in recent years, but a major turnaround seems to be taking place with the London-based club at the moment, and Garnacho seems a greater opportunity with the Blues.

United want a fee in the region of £50million, using Noni Madueke's £52m move to Arsenal from Stamford Bridge as a yardstick. However, Chelsea are not currently looking to go above £30m with their offer, which has drawn out the saga that could rumble on until the deadline.

Despite having already signed Liam Delap, João Pedro and Jamie Gittens this summer, Chelsea remain on the hunt for further attacking reinforcements. Garnacho is a long-time target for the Blues, who moved into “advanced talks” over a summer swoop earlier this week.
