The winger has been left off the club&#8217;s &#8216;not for sale list&#8217;, according to the Athletic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Chelsea have no interest in loaning out the 22-year-old and will only sanction a permanent departure, it is understood by football.london. The Blues have yet to open formal club-to-club talks but are willing to move Garnacho on following a disappointing debut campaign. That could prove welcome news for United, who offloaded the winger for \u00a340million last summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>His time at Old Trafford ended acrimoniously after a falling-out with Ruben Amorim left him surplus to requirements. It now appears that United&#8217;s astute negotiating could yield a lucrative financial windfall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The club shrewdly inserted a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the deal. Garnacho remains tied to the west London club until 2032 and chalked up 43 appearances during his first season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Argentine struggled to cement a starting berth under either Enzo Maresca or Liam Rosenior, and looks set to find opportunities equally scarce under incoming boss Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Chelsea have already bolstered their wide options by bringing in Geovany Quenda, piling yet further pressure on Garnacho. The promising youngster has been undertaking individual training at the club&#8217;s Cobham base ahead of the first-team squad&#8217;s return later this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Garnacho is not the only player who could help bolster United&#8217;s coffers this summer. Forward Mason Greenwood appears destined to leave Marseille, with Roma amongst the clubs showing interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>United officials inserted a substantial sell-on clause understood to grant them up to 50 per cent of any future transfer fee. The Italian outfit are reportedly readying a \u20ac45m (\u00a338.6m) bid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The club could secure an additional windfall should Hull City succeed in their pursuit of Facundo Pellistri. United offloaded Pellistri to Panathinaikos in August 2024 but included a reported 50 per cent sell-on clause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alejandro Garnacho&#8217;s future could lie away from Chelsea barely 12 months after making the switch&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15518,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15517","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\/15517","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=15517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
