Both clubs agreed a fee of about £40m, and sources say the agreement includes a sell-on clause.
The clubs settled terms club-to-club before the Cobham medical.
Enzo Maresca confirmed he saw Garnacho at the training base and called him a winger.
He warned the transfer window remains open and said Chelsea could still do more business.
Maresca also gave an injury update. Cole Palmer will miss Saturday’s trip to Fulham with a groin problem.
Benoît Badiashile and Romeo Lavia sit out for now but should edge closer to full fitness after the international break.
Those absences could speed Garnacho’s integration once he registers.
Manchester United’s decision to let their academy graduate go signals a reshuffle in squad planning at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
Meanwhile, Chelsea sit fourth heading into the weekend after a goalless draw with Crystal Palace and a 5–1 win over West Ham.
If completed, the signing will add young pace and directness to Chelsea’s wings and give Maresca fresh attacking options as the season unfolds.
With the paperwork finishing, Garnacho arrives at Chelsea amid high expectations and fans should expect official confirmation soon.
