Exact amount INEOS receiving revealed as Garnacho sale approved by Chelsea
Manchester United is set to receive a financial windfall from a sell-on clause following Chelsea's decision to list Alejandro Garnacho for sale. Chelsea has set different asking prices for the player depending on whether he is sold to a Premier League club or an international team.
Why it matters
This highlights the strategic use of sell-on clauses in modern football finance to mitigate risk and ensure long-term revenue from player transfers.
The exact number of millions Manchester United will receive through their sell-on clause in Alejandro Garnacho ’s contract has been revealed, with Fabrizio Romano detailing Chelsea’s two asking prices.
Man Utd sold Garnacho to Chelsea for £40m last summer. That deal dragged on and on and was only completed in the very final stages of the transfer window thanks in large part to the winger’s insistence he would only join the Blues.
However, Garnacho’s debut season at Stamford Bridge was nothing to write home about. And after just one year with the Blues, he’s been put up for sale.
That may well bring a wry smile to the faces of Man Utd’s hierarchy. However, there’s a financial motivation for Man Utd being glad Garnacho’s spell at Chelsea hasn’t worked out.
Numerous sources have confirmed Man Utd successfully inserted a 10 percent sell-on clause in their agreement with Chelsea.
