Chelsea is reportedly open to selling winger Alejandro Garnacho this summer, less than a year after signing him, as the club reshapes its squad under new management.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared on X that the club hierarchy does not consider the 22-year-old Argentina international "untouchable." Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United last summer for a reported £40 million but struggled to secure a consistent starting position during a challenging season for the Blues.
Romano indicated that Chelsea is prepared to entertain offers for a permanent transfer if a "good proposal" is received. Initial contact has reportedly been made by clubs showing interest in the player, with Chelsea preferring a permanent sale to generate funds for their own transfer targets.
This potential exit follows Garnacho's single season at Stamford Bridge. Notably, his former club Manchester United will be keeping an eye on developments due to a 10% sell-on clause included in the original deal.
A lucrative option for Garnacho could be a move to the Saudi Pro League, with reports linking Saudi club Al Qadsiah to the winger. The ambitious Saudi side has been actively recruiting top European talent, and the financial power of Al Qadsiah makes them a significant contender, though several Premier League clubs are also monitoring the situation.
