Chelsea close to signing Garnacho as Nkunku’s end draws near

Chelsea could soon sign Alejandro Garnacho from Man Utd this summer as Christopher Nkunku’s move close to leaving the Blues.

This comes as Italian club AC Milan are said to have reached an agreement worth £36m, including add-ons to sign Nkunku.

According to the reports, the Frenchman will take a pay cut to sign a five-year contract with AC Milan.

He has also been granted approval to travel for a medical.

It was further reported that Chelsea also included a sell-on clause as part of the deal, which will end the striker’s two-year stay at Stamford Bridge.

Once Nkunku’s transfer is done, it would serve as a boost for Chelsea, with negotiations advancing to sign Garnacho from Man Utd.

The Argentina star is yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils this season and is one of several players training away from the main squad.

On the other hand, another of Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is also in talks with German club Bayern Munich, who want to sign him on loan, with an option to buy permanently.

It is yet to be known if Chelsea will accept a loan deal for the Senegal international.
