Chelsea paid £40 million to bring Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United last September. Less than a year later, the club is ready to move him on, and they’re not interested in half-measures.
The west London club will only entertain permanent transfer offers for the Argentine winger this summer, ruling out any loan arrangements as new manager Xabi Alonso reshapes the squad to fit his vision. Chelsea’s asking price sits around £40 million, essentially what they paid for him.
A debut season best described as forgettable
Garnacho reportedly managed just four starts in the Premier League during the 2025/26 season. For context, that’s roughly one start every nine league matches. Chelsea supporters have reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the Argentine’s contribution.
Why permanent only, no loans
