Chelsea decided not to purchase Sancho, choosing to pay a £5 million penalty to United instead of meeting the obligation of up to £25 million. United is now waiting for a bid for Garnacho, who reportedly wants to join Chelsea.
According to recent reports, Chelsea has stepped up talks with Manchester United to sign Garnacho. The clubs have been in touch about the deal for some time and are now advancing amid the news of Sesko joining United. Garnacho, a 21-year-old winger, is said to be available for about £50 million. However, Chelsea is reportedly hesitant to pay this fee for him.
As Sesko's transfer to United has been confirmed, the deal for Garnacho may accelerate. United has agreed to a deal worth £73.7 million with RB Leipzig to sign Sesko. Garnacho is interested in joining Chelsea and may even be willing to accept a lower price now that Sesko is joining United. He has been waiting for an official approach from Chelsea, which is expected to come over the next few weeks.
