Garnacho Stays Away From Chelsea’s Pre-Season Amid Transfer Talks

Alejandro Garnacho did not join Chelsea’s first-team squad at Cobham for the start of pre-season training as the club actively seeks to sell the 21-year-old winger. Signed from Manchester United for £40m on a seven-year deal, Garnacho scored just one Premier League goal last season and struggled for regular starts. Chelsea value him at around £43m and are holding out for permanent offers, with interest reported from clubs in Europe, Saudi Arabia and Serie A’s Roma. This absence forms part of a wider summer overhaul under new manager Xabi Alonso. The Blues have already signed Marco Palestra and Geovany Quenda, sold Marc Cucurella and Tyrique George, and are targeting further defensive reinforcements while exploring additional departures.
