Alejandro Garnacho’s spell at Stamford Bridge could be coming to a premature end as Chelsea are reportedly open to sanctioning a sale this summer. Despite joining the Blues in a high-profile £40 million move from Manchester United only last September, the Argentine is seeing his future called into question, having yet to win over new head coach Liam Rosenior.

Rosenior is believed to have significant "reservations" about Garnacho’s role within his squad, according to The Sun. Since taking over the reins on January 6, Rosenior has afforded the 21-year-old only four Premier League starts, frequently preferring Pedro Neto on the left flank.

When questioned about the young winger's development last month, Rosenior struck a cautious tone, stating: "He’s got huge ability and potential. For any young player, the biggest thing to be challenged on is consistency. But he’s shown really good signs. Not just in training, but in meetings, that he’s on a really good track." Despite these public words of encouragement, The Sun states that the internal feeling suggests a summer exit is a distinct possibility.

The statistics reflect a difficult debut campaign for Garnacho in west London. He has started only 21 of Chelsea’s 51 games across all competitions this season, and has scored only eight times, with half of those strikes coming against lower-league opposition in cup ties.

Garnacho has managed just one solitary Premier League goal for Chelsea since his deadline-day move. This lack of top-flight productivity has made it difficult for the winger to justify his £40m price tag, especially as the club looks to streamline their squad ahead of the 2026-27 season. With Jamie Gittens currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, Garnacho has failed to seize the opportunity to cement his place.
