Chelsea open to Garnacho sale after winger misses start of pre-season training

· Sports GBRESP

Chelsea are actively seeking to sell Alejandro Garnacho after the winger failed to report for pre-season training under new manager Xabi Alonso, who began work on 9 July.

The club values the 21-year-old at roughly £43 million and is prepared to accept around €50 million from a foreign buyer or £45 million from a Premier League rival. Garnacho, who joined from Manchester United for £40 million last summer, scored eight goals across all competitions in his debut campaign as Chelsea finished 10th in the Premier League.

The prospective departure follows a busy transfer window in which Chelsea have already signed Marco Palestra and Geovany Quenda while selling Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid and Tyrique George to Everton.
