The 22-year-old joined from Manchester United for \u00a340m last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Guardian reported at the time that United also included a 10% sell-on clause in the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garnacho made 43 appearances in all competitions during his first Chelsea season. He scored eight goals and provided four assists. talkSPORT says only one of those goals came in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alonso Faces Early Wide-Player Decision<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update gives Xabi Alonso an early selection decision before Chelsea\u2019s rebuild fully accelerates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garnacho delivered volume in his first season, but he did not secure a clear Premier League role. Chelsea now appear ready to recover value before his place in the squad narrows further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The club\u2019s stance is also important. A loan would delay the decision and keep Chelsea tied to the same question next summer. A permanent sale would give Alonso a cleaner squad and create room for other wide options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read Chelsea has already looked at whether Serie A interest could offer Garnacho a reset. This latest update changes the picture. Chelsea are not just open to movement; they want the right kind of deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been no club-to-club talks yet, according to talkSPORT. Interest exists, but Chelsea\u2019s position is clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Garnacho leaves, the club want a sale rather than a temporary solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are prepared to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer, with the club not currently considering&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
