Chelsea Open to Selling £40m Garnacho After Flat First Season

Executives are exploring exits after the winger managed one league goal.

Overview

  • Chelsea are prepared to move Alejandro Garnacho on less than a year after paying about £40 million to sign him from Manchester United.
  • Reports say the club fears a thin market for the player and may need to take a loss, with no confirmed bids at this stage.
  • The 21-year-old made limited starts and finished 2025-26 with one Premier League goal and four assists, and he is currently out injured.
  • Coverage highlights questions over discipline and past social media issues from his United exit that some believe have weighed on his value, with team-leak claims unproven.
  • Former United chief scout Mick Brown said United were delighted to sell at that price and pointed to reinvestment in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
