With only four days left in the summer window, Manchester United finally successfully sold the first player. The 21-year-old Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho's transfer to Chelsea for £40 million has been confirmed. Previously, the Red Devils only sent Rashford away, and he spent more than a free loan to Barcelona for one season. Although there was a buyout clause, it was just a right to choose, so it may not necessarily transfer permanently.

Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano announced the completion of the deal: "Garnacho joins Chelsea, here we go! Chelsea and Manchester United have already completed the deal. Garnacho only wants to go to Chelsea. He will sign a contract for 7 years, with a total transfer fee of nearly £40 million. The story from July to the present ends. "

It is reported that Garnacho will go south to London for a medical examination on Friday, and then officially sign with Chelsea. Interestingly, he will return to Old Trafford with the Blues in a month. The outside world speculates that if he scored in the Red and Blue Battle on September 21, it is very likely that he would celebrate in front of Ruben Amorin.

After last season's Europa League final, Garnacho had a stumble with Manchester United coach Amorin because he failed to start, and the latter told him to find another boss. "Xiao Qiao" decided to stay in the Premier League and decided to only join Chelsea. Subsequently, Manchester United and Chelsea have bargained on transfer fees to this day.

sources revealed that Chelsea initially only offered £25 million, while Manchester United asked for £50 million. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement on the transfer fee of £40 million, and the terms will also include a 10% second transfer share to Manchester United. Therefore, Garnacho became the fourth highest-priced player in the history of the Red Devils after he became Cristiano Ronaldo, Lukaku and Di Maria.

Ganacho is the 51st player Chelsea has introduced in the past four years! Since Todd Burley and Claire Lake Capital acquired the Chelsea club, the Blues have spent more than 500 million pounds on buying wingers in more than three years, plus the centers cost up to 650 million pounds. But they almost achieved a balance of accounts by selling players. Before Garnacho's transfer to Chelsea, the team had already sold 27-year-old French striker Nkunku to AC Milan for £32 million. Meanwhile, Nicholas Jacquesson is also negotiating a deal to rent out Bayern Munich, and Bayern may agree to buy out the 24-year-old center.

Data shows that Chelsea has earned 263.2 million pounds through selling people this summer! This set the highest record for selling people in a single season in the Premier League, and the original record was also maintained by Chelsea itself. Their sales revenue in 2023 was 215.9 million pounds. Successfully sold players, helping Burleigh to continuously sign.

Selling Garnacho is also crucial for Manchester United. He is already in his youth training and joined Atletico Madrid at the age of 16 in 2020. He has served for more than the minimum "household registration book" of four years. Therefore, this £40 million transfer fee is pure profit, which is very important for Manchester United to meet the Premier League PSR profit and sustainable development rules.

The next player to leave Manchester United may be 22-year-old Danish center Hoylund, Dimazio reported that the Red Devils have reached a verbal agreement with Naples on their transfer and fees.

Hoylund originally wanted to stay and continue the "Son Demon Dream" and fight for his position, but Amorin excluded him from the roster for three consecutive games, and the "Freighter" had to accept the fact that the Red Devils' career ended.

It is reported that Naples agreed to loan Hoylund on one year, and next summer is obliged to buy out for 45 million euros (£39 million), which meets Manchester United's trading conditions. The player has long agreed to the personal contract issued by the defending Serie A champion, and now the transaction has cleared all obstacles.
