Fabrizio Romano's exclusive update, states that "every detail of personal terms" has been agreed between Garnacho's camp and Chelsea.
This crucial step means the player's side of the deal is finalised, and his future now hinges on the two clubs agreeing on a transfer fee.
Garnacho, 21, has been at the centre of a fierce transfer storm all summer.
He was reportedly made available for transfer by Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim after a breakdown in their relationship, following a public disagreement over the winger's lack of playing time in the Europa League final.

This led to Garnacho being left out of United's recent pre-season tour.
While other clubs like Napoli and Bayern Munich have shown interest, Garnacho's preference for a move to Chelsea has been a consistent theme in reports.
However, a significant hurdle remains: the transfer fee.
Manchester United's valuation of their academy graduate is understood to be in the region of £50 million.
This is a figure that Chelsea are reportedly reluctant to meet, having been initially unwilling to pay more than £30 million.
The vast difference in valuation sets up a tense round of negotiations between the two Premier League giants.
For Chelsea, the pursuit of Garnacho is part of a busy and ambitious summer.
The Blues have already added several new players and are still actively pursuing other attacking talents like Xavi Simons.
Garnacho's arrival, with his raw pace, flair, and proven goal-scoring ability (he netted 11 goals last season), would offer a significant boost to Chelsea's squad as they prepare for a return to the Champions League.
The ball is now in Chelsea's court.
With the player's personal terms agreed and his desire to join them made clear, all eyes will be on whether they can meet Manchester United's asking price or if they can find a compromise to seal one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer.
