Chelsea is close to a deal with Manchester United about the signing of Alejandro Garnacho.
A compromise about the valuation of Garnacho will be reached. United appreciated him at £ 50 million – which was more than what Chelsea was willing to pay.
There is more confidence that a deal can be completed before the Deadline Day of Monday.
Garnacho has rejected offers from other clubs because he wants to move to Chelsea.
The winger was told that he could leave United at the end of last season and he is not training with their team from the first team.

Amorim: Talented Garnacho has not worked out
Earlier this summer, United boss Ruben Amorim spoke that Garnacho is still a talented player, but says that it was not successful for the 21-year-old Academy graduate in Old Trafford.
“You can understand it and you can see that he is a real talented boy, and sometimes it doesn't work out,” Amorim said during the United tour by the US for the Premier League Summer Series.
“You can't specifically explain what it is. But I have the feeling, I think it is clear that Garnacho wants another thing with a different leadership, and I can understand that. So I think it's not a problem.
“Sometimes you adjust to one man, you have the connection. Other times you want a new challenge, so we try to make up for everything for all parts. To the club, to the coach and the players. It's a natural thing in football.”
Amorim also revealed that the sale is important this summer because it wants a smaller team this season, since United is not in Europe and will only fight on three fronts.
“I am really happy with the team,” said Amorim. “Without European competitions I want a small team, so that everyone feels really important.
“If you have many players, you have a week to prepare and many players will come out, and then they will be frustrated in training and then the quality of the training will fall.”
