New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has effectively confirmed Alejandro Garnacho is on his way out of Stamford Bridge, revealing the club is already discussing the Argentine winger’s future amid growing interest from several clubs.
Speaking at his first press conference as Chelsea boss, Alonso admitted Garnacho is attracting interest from elsewhere and expressed hope that a deal would soon be reached.
“The situation is we have spoken with the sports directors, and there’s an interest in him from other clubs. So let’s see how it develops, but hopefully it finishes in the best possible way for all parties,” Alonso said.
According to Goal, Alonso’s comments have all but opened the door for Garnacho’s departure, just one year after the Argentina international completed a high-profile move from Manchester United.
