The Argentina international only joined the west London giants last summer in a reported \u00a340 million from Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old struggled to break into Chelsea&#8217;s starting XI and failed to impress the fans. He scored eight goals and provided four assists in 43 appearances in all competitions but four of those goals came in four EFL Cup games.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The former Manchester United winger failed to convince both Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior as well as interim manager Calum McFarlane. It has been claimed that the Blues are looking to offload the Argentine just one year after signing him.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Now, new manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed that the former Atletico Madrid youngster has attracted interest from other clubs. He said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere is interest in him from other clubs. Hopefully it finishes in the best possible way for everyone.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Garnacho has been linked with a move to Serie A, with both Napoli and AS Roma reportedly keen on his services. Chelsea reportedly want around \u20ac50 million for the forward, slightly more than the \u20ac46.2 million they paid for his signature last summer.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Xabi Alonso keen to reunite with Real Madrid star at Chelsea &#8211; Reports<\/h2>\n<p>Newly-appointed Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso reportedly wants to reunite with Real Madrid left-back Alvaro Carreras at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard signed the bombarding full-back at the Santiago Bernabeu last summer.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues are short of quality and depth at left-back, having parted ways with Marc Cucurella this summer. The Spain international has made a reported \u00a351.8 million switch to Real Madrid this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Xabi Alonso reportedly wants to raid his former club for Carreras, a player he rates highly. Carreras enjoyed a solid start to life at Real Madrid under Alonso but failed to impress in the second half of the season under Alvaro Arbeloa.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea reportedly have already seen a bid worth \u20ac25 million rejected for the former Manchester United academy graduate. They reportedly want \u20ac50 million, the fee they splashed for his services from Benfica last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Carreras played 2151 minutes under Alonso last season and produced one goal and one assist. He only played 1251 minutes under Alonso&#8217;s successor Arbeloa, raking up one goal and two assists. The 23-year-old is reportedly seen as an important player by new Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Snehanjan Banerjee<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newly-appointed Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho is set to leave the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16977,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16976","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\/16976","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=16976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
