Chelsea Ready to Cut Ties with Underwhelming Alejandro Garnacho After One Season

Chelsea want to get rid of Alejandro Garnacho less than a year after signing him, SportsBoom can reveal.

But BlueCo are understood to be worried at a lack of potential suitors amid his troubles off the pitch. 

It is understood the only likely interest for Garnacho this summer would be from abroad with Chelsea having to accept a loss on the £40million they paid last summer if they want to cut ties with the winger.

Garnacho joined the Blues from Premier League rivals Manchester United on deadline day in September and came with a reputation of ill-discipline.

That included social media posts from him and his brother during his time at United, where he was at loggerheads with then boss Ruben Amorim. 

He was also accused of being the source of leaking team news, though allegations are unsubstantiated. 

During his time in United’s ‘bomb squad’ where he and Marcus Rashford were forced to train away from the main squad in pre-season.

Garnacho irked his manager by posting an image on social media in a Rashford 9 Aston Villa shirt.

Chelsea was was supposed to be a fresh start for the Argentinian, but during his first campaign at Stamford Bridge he has only mustered one league goal and was frustrated at being left out by Liam Rosenior, similar to the situation with Amorim which led to his Old Trafford departure.

In other news, Chelsea star Enzo Fernández is reportedly considering a shock exit from Stamford Bridge this summer, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal. Despite being tied to the club on a long-term contract until 2032, the Argentine World Cup winner has attracted strong interest from European heavyweights Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

"I Did Some Bad Things"

Speaking about his issues at United, Garnacho earlier this season said: “I remember in the last six months I was just not playing like before at Manchester United. I started to be on the bench, it's not a bad thing.”

“I was only 20 years old, but in my mind it was like I had to play every game. In my mind, maybe it is also on me, I started to do some bad things.”

“But yes, it was just this moment in life and sometimes you have to make decisions. Sometimes we have better or worse moments.”
