Chelsea fans finally have the news they’ve been waiting for. After weeks of speculation and growing anticipation at Stamford Bridge, manager Enzo Maresca has officially confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho will be the club’s newest signing, arriving from Manchester United in a blockbuster Premier League transfer.

What Did Maresca Say About the Signing?

Speaking in a press conference ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Fulham, the Italian coach made it clear that Garnacho is already around the squad and that his role is unquestionable:

“I know he is already around the club. What is clear is that his position is that of a winger, and I see him as a winger.”

Maresca stressed that strengthening the flanks was a top priority for the club this summer, and Garnacho perfectly fits that need.

Transfer Fee and Contract Details

The 21-year-old Argentine international joins Chelsea after playing 144 matches and scoring 26 goals for Manchester United. The transfer deal was sealed for £40 million (€47 million), making it one of the standout moves of this Premier League transfer window.

For Chelsea, it’s not just a financial statement — it’s an investment in one of the brightest young attacking talents in Europe.

What Will Garnacho Bring to Chelsea?

Garnacho is expected to inject pace, flair, and unpredictability into Chelsea’s attack. Known for his one-on-one ability, sharp dribbling, and knack for scoring from wide areas, he brings both creativity and end product.

With Maresca shaping a team built on verticality and quick transitions, Garnacho is seen as a perfect fit. Having already gained valuable experience in the Champions League and with the Argentina national team, he arrives ready to take the next step in his career.

For supporters, this is the transfer they had been anxiously waiting for. Chelsea now add a promising, high-profile player to their squad, a winger who combines youth, talent, and proven experience at the top level.
