Chelsea CLOSE IN on agreement for Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho after upping their offer ahead of transfer deadline

Chelsea are closing on agreement with Manchester United for Alejandro Garnacho.

Discussions were ongoing over a compromise on the fee last night as AC Milan also stepped up their interest in Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku.

Chelsea are understood to be offering £35million plus add ons for Argentina international Garnacho who is valued at £50m by United.

The 22-year old has made it clear he only wishes to join Chelsea which has strengthened their arm in negotiations.

Daily Mail Sport revealed this week that Chelsea had started off with low offers around the £25m and £30m mark for Garnacho but are understood to have edged closer to United's valuation.
