The young winger did not report for Chelsea\u2019s pre-season training, adding more fuel to exit rumours. With transfer talks moving forward, his next club could soon become one of the biggest stories of the summer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-alejandro-garnacho-absent-as-transfer-talks-continue\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alejandro Garnacho absent as transfer talks continue<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As reported by<\/strong> <strong>BBC Sport<\/strong>Garnacho did not return for the start of Chelsea\u2019s pre-season training at Cobham. The winger has been allowed to stay away while his future is sorted out, with the club actively working on a permanent transfer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As reported by<\/strong> <strong>Metro<\/strong>Chelsea are prepared to sell the Argentina international less than a year after signing him from Manchester United. The report adds that the Blues want around <strong>\u00a343 million<\/strong> and are only interested in a permanent deal rather than another loan. The 22-year-old joined Stamford Bridge for around <strong>\u00a340 million<\/strong> last summer. However, his first season did not go as planned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He scored only eight goals in 43 appearances across all competitions. While those numbers are not impressive, he struggled to become a regular starter under different managers. That has now led both the player and the club to consider a fresh start before the new campaign begins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alejandro Garnacho\u2019s stats for Chelsea last season, as per FOTMOB:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Competitions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Matches<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Assists<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Premier League<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>FA Cup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>EFL Cup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Champions League<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-alejandro-garnacho-interest-grows-from-several-clubs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alejandro Garnacho: Interest grows from several clubs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As reported by<\/strong> <strong>The Athletic<\/strong>several clubs from the Premier League, Europe and the Saudi Pro League have shown interest in Garnacho. Chelsea remain optimistic that a deal can be completed during the coming weeks, but only if a club agrees to a permanent transfer. The winger is believed to want regular first-team football after finding consistent opportunities difficult last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea are also reshaping their squad under new head coach Xabi Alonso. Several arrivals and departures are expected before the transfer window closes. The London side believe Garnacho still has strong market value because of his age, experience and potential. <strong>Man United<\/strong> are also expected to receive a percentage of any future sale because of the agreement made when he joined Chelsea. Although no destination has been confirmed, interest from multiple leagues including the <strong>Premier League<\/strong> means the player will have many options.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-big-decision-expected-before-season-starts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big decision expected before season starts<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea\u2019s pre-season schedule is already underway, making the coming days important for everyone involved. The longer Garnacho remains away from training, the more likely it appears that a transfer will happen before the new campaign begins.Chelsea want clarity before the squad travels for the next stage of pre-season preparations. The player also wants his future settled so he can fully focus on <strong>football<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, both sides appear to agree that moving on is the best solution.The next step will depend on whether interested clubs are willing to match <strong>the Blues\u2019<\/strong> asking price and complete a permanent deal.With several weeks still left in the transfer window, Garnacho\u2019s situation is likely to remain one of the biggest stories to watch.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-author-s-opinion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Author\u2019s Opinion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes a move simply does not work as expected. Garnacho still has plenty of talent and time on his side. A fresh start at the right club could help him rebuild confidence and show the ability that made him one of football\u2019s brightest young players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <strong>Maxence Lacroix deal awaits Crystal Palace move.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong> <strong>Geovany Quenda joins Chelsea as \u00a340m transfer confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> <strong>Jesse Derry to leave Chelsea as Sporting loan move nears.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"after-article-links\" style=\"margin-top:20px; font-size:14px;\">Follow the latest updates from <strong>Premier League<\/strong>, <strong>The League<\/strong> and<br \/>\n        <strong>Champions League<\/strong>or explore more<br \/>\n        <strong>Football<\/strong> stories, <strong>Football Teams<\/strong> &#038; <strong>All Football Competitions<\/strong> .
