Another forward, Nicholas Jackson, has also agreed terms with Bayern Munich and is on the verge of joining the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on an initial loan deal. Chelsea will reportedly get an initial loan fee to the tune of £13 million, and the club will have the option to make it permanent for £56 million.

Alejandro Garnacho Set To Join Chelsea From Manchester United

Both the exits have paved the way for Garnacho's arrival at Stamford Bridge. United have reportedly agreed a £40 million transfer fee for the left winger who has fallen down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim's watch. The Red Devils will also be guaranteed 10 per cent of any future sales should the deal go through. The likes of Garnacho and Antony have been given extra time to sort out their future as the Portuguese manager already added Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha to the ranks.

Garnacho is expected to undergo a medical at Cobham training ground before both clubs make the move official.
