Manchester United could be in line for a welcome financial windfall following the latest developments surrounding Alejandro Garnacho's future at Chelsea. United sold Garnacho to the London club last summer in a deal valued at £40 million, after the Argentina international made clear his wish to depart Old Trafford.
Since his move, Garnacho has managed just eight goals for Chelsea during his stint at Stamford Bridge, with only one of those coming in the Premier League, leaving his future in the capital hanging in the balance after a disappointing debut campaign.
According to The Sun, Chelsea are now willing to sanction Garnacho's departure on a permanent basis this summer, just 12 months after he swapped United for Stamford Bridge. A separate report from journalist Simon Phillips has also suggested that Chelsea would be looking to earn £40 million from the sale of Garnacho this summer.
United will be keeping a close eye on how Garnacho's situation unfolds, given they stand to receive a financial boost should the forward move on from Chelsea this summer. As part of the £40 million agreement United struck with Chelsea last year, a 10 per cent sell-on clause was written into the deal.
Should Chelsea successfully sell Garnacho for the reported £40 million asking price, United could find themselves banking an additional £4 million this summer. Former Chelsea star Wayne Bridge recently weighed in on Garnacho's spell at Stamford Bridge and offered some words of advice to the ex-United forward.
