EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea make Alejandro Garnacho transfer decision as Xabi Alonso clear out continues

The latest on the future of Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho with the Argentine continuously linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window

Chelsea are open to selling Alejandro Garnacho this summer after just one season at Stamford Bridge, football.london understands.

The 22-year-old winger failed to convince in his debut campaign with the Blues following his £40million move from Manchester United less than 12 months ago. There is interest in Garnacho and there have been reports in Italy regarding Roma wanting to loan the winger, but Chelsea, sources say, will only consider a permanent transfer this summer.

Garnacho, whose contract at the Bridge does not expire until 2032, made 43 appearances in his debut season in west London but failed to cement a regular spot in the starting XI under all three head coaches. While there are potential suitors for Garnacho, there have been no club-to-club talks over the former United winger yet.

Elsewhere, fellow left-sided winger Tyrique George has completed a medical ahead of a permanent move to Everton. The Cobham graduate is on the verge of becoming a Toffee on a full-time basis after spending the second half of last season on loan at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Chelsea are set to receive £18m up front for George, with the possibility of a further £6m in add-ons. The Blues have also inserted a 15% sell-on clause in the 20-year-old's contract on Merseyside.

Geovany Quenda has arrived from Sporting CP to give Chelsea another option on the left side of attack. Quenda, who is set to be part of Xabi Alonso's group for the first day of pre-season training on Thursday, can play on either flank with the Blues valuing the Portuguese's versatility.

Chelsea are expected to sell a number of players in what is turning into squad surgery this summer. As well as Garnacho, the likes of Trevoh Chalobah, Filip Jorgensen, Andrey Santos, Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernandez are all available for the right price.
