Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on May 28 that Chelsea are offering Alejandro Garnacho to other clubs with an asking price of roughly £40m, matching the fee paid last summer.
- Garnacho scored eight goals and provided four assists in 43 appearances this season but managed only one Premier League goal, prompting internal disappointment about his impact.
- Reports name Napoli as a likely club to be contacted because of previous interest, though coverage also notes that clear suitors may be limited.
- Former Manchester United figure Nicky Butt publicly criticised Garnacho’s attitude, saying he could be standoffish and has a high opinion of himself, a view that has fed into Chelsea’s assessment.
- A sale would ease Chelsea’s need to reshape the squad under new management and help recoup money after missing European competition, but outlets stress the reports are unconfirmed by the club and a buyer may force a price drop.
