Chelsea\u00a0are prepared to sell\u00a0Alejandro Garnacho\u00a0for 50m euros (\u00a342.6m) this summer, preferring a permanent departure over a loan proposal.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old wants to play regular first-team football, and that is not guaranteed at Chelsea, just a year on from a move to Stamford Bridge from Manchester United for \u00a340m.<\/p>\n
In an underwhelming debut season for the Blues, Garnacho failed to establish himself, scoring eight goals and setting up four in 43 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n
Multiple clubs across Europe, the Premier League and in Saudi Arabia are interested in signing the forward.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are working with the player and his representatives to find a solution which suits all parties. Garnacho has not returned to pre-season training yet because his future is set to be resolved in the next fortnight.<\/p>\n
Garnacho penned a long-term deal at the west London club after being told he could leave United after the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham in 2025. Should a club meet Chelsea’s 50m euros (\u00a342.6m) demands, the Blues will have made a profit on the Argentine.<\/p>\n
