Chelsea are actively working on the departure of Alejandro Garnacho, with the club valuing the Argentine winger at €50 million and preparing to sanction a permanent transfer in the coming weeks.
Softfootball understands that the Blues are only willing to consider a permanent exit, ruling out the possibility of a loan deal as they continue discussions with interested clubs.
Garnacho has also made his intentions clear, with the 21-year-old eager to leave Stamford Bridge this summer in search of a fresh challenge and more regular first-team football.
The situation has progressed to the point where Garnacho is not training under new head coach Xabi Alonso, as Chelsea work closely with the player’s representatives to find a suitable solution before the transfer window closes.
His situation mirrors that of Andrey Santos, with both players currently separated from Alonso’s first-team plans while their futures are resolved.
Several clubs are monitoring the winger’s availability, with AS Roma among those to have shown interest. However, Chelsea’s insistence on a permanent transfer means any interested side will need to meet the club’s €50 million valuation before negotiations can progress.
With both club and player aligned on a summer departure, Garnacho’s exit is expected to be one of Chelsea’s key transfer stories in the coming weeks.
