Chelsea are open to offers for Alejandro Garnacho this summer after the former Manchester United winger’s disappointing season at Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho Struggles At Chelsea
Garnacho was once one of the most highly-rated and promising players at Old Trafford but he fell out of favour under former United boss Ruben Amorim.
Chelsea spent £40m to sign the Argentina international last summer and Garnacho hoped to revive his career at the club he supported growing up.
But Garnacho largely found himself on the periphery of the Chelsea team, starting just 14 Premier League games across the campaign and scoring just once.
Enzo Maresca, Liam Rosenior and Calum McFarlane all appeared to have doubts over Garnacho, who signed a long-term contract with Chelsea running through to 2032.
Garnacho looks set to move on way before that date, however, with Chelsea already considering a sale ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the Daily Mail (via Metro).
Chelsea are in the market for a versatile attacker and one of the reasons is they are open to offers for Garnacho, who described his move to west London as ‘incredible’.
It is claimed the Blues are willing to show more patience in £52m summer signing Jamie Gittens, whose first season at the club was plagued with injury problems.

Chelsea appointed Xabi Alonso as their new manager last month and the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder will take over at the start of July.
Chelsea Also Plan To Offload Other Underperforming Players
Alonso wants two or three ‘ready-made’ players to bolster his team this summer but Chelsea must also move on several stars from their bloated and underperforming squad.
The Daily Mail have named Garnacho, Filip Jorgensen, Axel Disasi and one of Liam Delap, Marc Guiu or Nicolas Jackson as either likely or possible departees.
Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella have been heavily linked with summer moves but Chelsea are not ‘actively’ looking to sell either.
Fernandez is keen to leave amid interest from Manchester City and Real Madrid but Chelsea would want an eye-watering £120m to part ways with the midfielder.
