DID YOU KNOW?
Chelsea have already secured the services of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro for a combined outlay believed to be in the region of £85 million ($116m). In addition, the west Londoners previously wrapped up pre-transfers for Sporting CP talents Dario Essugo and Geovany Quenda, who cost a further £62m ($85m).
Despite this flurry of spending, Chelsea are also anticipated to offload a number of squad players in the coming weeks. These expected outgoings would potentially create the financial and roster space to make new additions.

WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
For United, time is of the essence. The club wants a final decision from Chelsea regarding Garnacho as soon as possible to avoid prolonged uncertainty. Should their rivals opt out of the race, United are likely to shut down talks and focus on retaining the player as part of their long-term project.
