Alejandro Garnacho is set to leave Chelsea this summer, less than a year after his move from Man United, new boss Xabi Alonso has confirmed.

United are in line for a financial boost if a deal goes through. United inserted a 10 per cent sell‑on clause in the deal, meaning they stand to profit from his departure.

The 22‑year‑old has has not reported for pre‑season as Chelsea work on an exit behind the scenes. Garnacho, who left United in a £40million switch last year, has interest from Europe and Saudi Arabia.

When asked about the winger's situation on Monday, new Chelsea boss Alonso said: "Well the situation is that we have spoken with the sporting directors. There is an interest for him from other clubs. So let's see how this develops. But hopefully, it finishes in the best possible way for other clubs."

Our colleagues at football.london understand that an agreement is close, with Chelsea hoping to bank around £42m in a permanent transfer.

According to Sky Sports, Man United could revisit the collapsed move for Ederson later in the summer, with the situation shifting in their favour.

Atalanta are not in a strong negotiating position with Ederson's contract expiring next year. Given he is keen to push on in his career, any talk of an extension is viewed as highly unlikely.

One to keep an eye on.

Manchester United are on track to complete their midfield overhaul after making progress to secure a shock deal for Youri Tielemans.

United are in advanced talks with Aston Villa to sign Tielemans. Villa do not want to lose the Belgian, but he has a release clause of £35million and wants to make the switch to Old Trafford this summer.

Tielemans will follow Andrey Santos through the door. United are set to spend around £85m on the pair, which is smart business given Tottenham signed former Reds' target Mateus Fernandes for the same price.

United are one of the clubs linked with an interest in Jarrod Bowen this summer, following West Ham's relegation from the Premier League.

However, it now looks like the captain is set to stay at the London Stadium, according to the forward's father-in-law and celebrity Hammers' fan Danny Dyer.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, he said:

Manchester United’s move for Youri Tielemans is likely to affect the future of Wolves star Joao Gomes. The Brazilian has been linked with United for some time and appeared set to leave Molineux this summer.

Atletico Madrid were closing in on a deal to sign Gomes from Wolves following their relegation from the Premier League, but that move has fallen through in recent days.

The La Liga outfit have since chosen to pursue a deal for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Morten Hjulmand, meaning that Gomes’ future now remains uncertain.

Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox has explained the reasons why the club chose to sign Andrey Santos.

He told the club website:

It's interesting to read Santos referencing the opportunity to work with Carrick as one of the reasons why he was attracted to United. Carrick was one of the finest midfielders of his generation, and he is pretty hands-on during training sessions, passing on his pearls of wisdom through his coaching. Santos will learn a lot from working under him, and his ceiling isn't close to being reached.

Andrey Santos has opened up on his decision to join Manchester United, after the club confirmed the signing of the midfielder from Chelsea.

Santos told United's club website:

Manchester United have posted a video on social media seemingly confirming a deal for former Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos.

The Brazilian will join for an overall package of £50 million.

Tielemans is a name who seems to have been around for years, that's because, despite still only being 29, he has been.

He burst onto the scene with Belgian club Anderlecht as a teenager in 2013, before making the move to French side Monaco four years later. He failed to make a big impression with the club and joined Leicester on loan for the second half of the 2019/20 season.

He instantly became a fan favourite, and completed a permanent move the following summer. In his four-and-a-half years with the Foxes, he played 195 times, scoring 28 goals and providing 28 assists, establishing himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

One of the highlights was his stunning goal to help the club win their first ever FA Cup in 2021.

Tielemans was, however, part of the squad that suffered a shock relegation from the Premier League two years later, and left on a free transfer that summer, joining Aston Villa.

He has played 134 times for the Villans, scoring 10 times, including in the Europa League final last season, and providing 25 assists

The 29-year-old has 90 caps for Belgium and wore the captain's armband in the nation's run to the World Cup quarter-finals in North America, though he missed the defeat vs Spain through injury. He scored twice in the 3-2 comeback win vs Senegal at the Round of 16 stage.

After flirting with the idea of Tchouameni, it seems United will pull the trigger on Tielemans as their elite midfield replacement for Casemiro. That's a good signing for United, at the right price. Reports have suggested £35m will be enough to bring him in and, if that's the case, the Reds should do everything they can to get that done. He excelled for Belgium at the World Cup and he adds much-needed leadership to that midfield.

Both Kai Rooney and Jacey Carrick, sons of Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick, have responded to signing scholarship deals with Manchester United.

Rooney made his debut at Old Trafford last season in the FA Youth Cup game vs Derby County. Reacting to the deal, he said:

Carrick Junior said:

Youri Tielemans will be the next through the door at United after striking a deal for Andrey Santos. Fair play to United for swooping after identifying an opportunity due to his release clause. Tielemans has bags of Premier League experience, and the fee is definitely fair. The deal looks even better when you consider Tottenham paid £85m for Mateus Fernandes, the same price United will pay for Santos and Tielemans combined.

Marcus Rashford will hold 'direct conversations' with Michael Carrick over his future at the club upon his return from representing England at the World Cup.

England's progress to the semi-final stage means that the forward won't return from North America until after the weekend, with the team taking part in either the final (Sunday 19th July) or the third-place play-off (Saturday 18th July).

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has said that Rashford and Carrick will talk about his future once he returns, but the player has confirmed his availability to take part in pre-season.

United and Youri Tielemans have reached a 'verbal agreement' over a contract at Old Trafford, according to Sky Germany.

It's added that negotiations with Villa are at an 'advanced stage' and it's a 'matter of time' before the transfer is completed.

A transfer for Youri Tielemans will cost United £35 million.

The Telegraph reports that the Aston Villa midfielder has a release clause in his contract that will allow him to leave for that price.

Villa are in the final stages of completing a move for Freiburg midfielder Johan Manzambi, who could be seen as a potential replacement.

Youri Tielemans of Belgium celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the international friendly match between Croatia and Belgium.

United are closing in on a shock deal to sign Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa as they step up plans to overhaul their midfield.

The two clubs are in advanced talks over an agreement for the 29-year-old, who has made it clear he wants to move to Old Trafford. His Villa contract has two years remaining.

Manchester United hero Diego Forlan is close to becoming the new Uruguay head coach.

The nation suffered disappointment at this year's World Cup, falling out at the group stage, which led to Marcelo Bielsa stepping down as manager.

The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) have been searching for a replacement, with president Ignacio Alonso showing his excitement at the potential appointment of Forlan.

He told Teledoce:

The Under-20 role will also include an interim period in charge of the senior squad. Alonso added:

United will seek to renegotiate the deal they’ve agreed with Atalanta to get Ederson's signing over the line.

Despite reports that the deal has collapsed, United remain open to signing the 27-year-old, but the deal has become complex after medical tests raised concerns about a knee injury sustained last season.

Further tests were carried out on Ederson last week and United could now try to restructure the deal in their bid to bring the Brazil international to Old Trafford.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has delivered his verdict on United closing in on a deal for Andrey Santos.

A £50 million fee has been agreed with Chelsea for the signing, with United adding to their midfield options.

However, speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football, Scholes isn't too excited by the potential arrival:

He added:

As mentioned, if Greenwood is to be sold by Marseille this week, it will be a significant sum that United shall bank. Fenerbahce and Atletico have both reportedly agreed deals with the Ligue 1 club and should he move to the Saudi Pro League, United should bank a similar figure. United would receive €14million (£11.9m) if Greenwood opts to move to Turkey, or €15.7million (£13.3m) if he returns to Madrid. That'll be a nice boost for the Reds' budget.

There has been a twist in the future of Mason Greenwood, with Saudi side Al-Ahli attempting to hijack a move to Fenerbahce.

According to TalkSPORT's Ben Jacobs, the Turkish side has a deal in principle agreed with Marseille, and believe that the player is sold on the move.

However, Al-Ahlo have now made calls to the player over a possible move.

United will be keeping a close eye on the situation, with the club set to get a significant sell-on fee.

Michael Carrick is planning on playing Mason Mount in a deeper role next season in a bid to ease the midfield problems, according to the Sun.

Before any new arrivals, United have just Kobbie Mainoo as a deeper-lying central midfielder following the exit of Casemiro and the injury to Manuel Ugarte, who ruptured his ACL while representing Uruguay at the World Cup.

The report says that Mount is set to start United's pre-season schedule in the role, with Mainoo, who is away with England at the World Cup, not returning until the training camp in Dublin on August 9.

United play their first friendly against Championship side Wrexham in Helsinki on Saturday.

Manchester United look set to benefit from other activity in the transfer window, with both Alejandro Garnacho and Mason Greenwood on the verge of moving clubs.

Garnacho left Old Trafford last summer, joining Chelsea in a £40 million deal, but has struggled to have an impact at Stamford Bridge. Various reports suggest that the Blues are willing to let him go for around £42.5 million.

As part of the deal, United inserted a 10% sell-on clause - should Chelsea get the fee that they want, then United will earn £4.2m from the deal.

Greenwood left United in the summer of 2024, with United including a sell-on clause of between 40 and 50%. The forward now looks set to join Fenerbache for around £34 million, plus add-ons.

United will therefore get a seven-figure sum from that sale.

Atalanta will offer a new deal to Ederson after reports that his move to United has fallen through.

The Brazilian looked set to arrive at Old Trafford, but his move was delayed by his late call-up to the Brazil squad for the World Cup.

It's been reported that the deal has fallen through, although United say that the deal is still on.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Atalanta are now set to offer the midfielder a new five-year contract, with the decision down to Ederson, who has 10 years remaining on his current contract.

Carlos Baleba is a name who continues to be mentioned in association with Manchester United over the last few transfer windows.

TEAMtalk reports that the Brighton and Hove Albion man 'remains on the radar' of the club as they overhaul their midfield this summer.

Football Insider adds that Brighton may now be willing to lower their initial £100 million asking price, which could cause United to fully reignite their interest.

Manchester United are closing in on the arrival of three new players, with an announcement expected soon.

The club have agreed a £50 million fee for Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos, while goalkeeper Karl Darlow is also expected to arrive as United strengthen their goalkeeping options.

The third new arrival is expected to be Colombian teenager Cristian Orozco. United reaches an agreement with Fortaleza CEIF nin month ago, but the player needed to be 18 to join. United have paid a fee of around £750,000, with Orozco expected to join up with the U21 side.

How do you replace a five-time Champions League winner with nearly 500 appearances for Real Madrid and Manchester United and 91 caps for Brazil? For United, the answer is you don't replace him directly.

Casemiro has now formally left Old Trafford after his contract expired at the end of June, and the process of rebuilding the midfield has begun. His countryman Andrey Santos is set to sign for £50million, although a £38.3million deal for Ederson hangs in the balance.

Santos is just 22 and has limited senior experience, even if he has six caps for Brazil. Ederson's move from Atalanta could collapse over concerns around a knee injury, but although he is 27, his experience only amounts to playing for a top-six club in Serie A.
