Chelsea preparing to sell Alejandro Garnacho

Chelsea are considering selling Alejandro Garnacho despite signing him from Manchester United only last summer, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

The Argentine joined the Blues from the Red Devils before the transfer deadline last summer, and he has struggled to find consistency.

The 21-year-old has managed just eight goals and four assists from 37 appearances, and has been frustrating with several performances.

Jamie Gittens has equally endured a difficult season with the Blues, but the Englishman has the benefit of doubt due to his injury concerns.

Fichajes now claim the Blues are contemplating the prospect of offloading Garnacho when the transfer window reopens at the end of the campaign.

No interested clubs have been mentioned, but Garnacho was previously on the radar of Napoli and Juventus. The duo could revive their pursuit.

Chelsea paid around £40m for Garnacho's transfer from Old Trafford and may want to recoup the entire fee to sanction his sale later this year.
