Chelsea are already willing to cash in on Alejandro Garnacho less than a year after signing him from Manchester United . The Argentine winger completed a £40m move to Stamford Bridge last summer but has endured a disappointing first season.

He has netted eight goals in all competitions but just one of those has come in the Premier League , while boss Liam Rosenior has preferred former Wolves man Pedro Neto on the left flank.

And it appears that the West London club are already happy to move him on. According to The Sun , club chiefs would be willing to sanction an exit, with Rosenior having hesitations over Garnacho’s place in the side.

The youngster still has six years left to run on his Chelsea contract but has recently been linked with a loan move to Boca Juniors. He also recently deleted every reference to his current employers from his TikTok page.

Meanwhile, Garnacho has recently opened up on his Old Trafford exit and appeared to suggest he had regrets over how the move came about.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, he said: "I remember in the last six months I was just not playing like before at Manchester United. I started to be on the bench, it's not [a] bad thing, I was only 20 years old, but in my mind it was like I had to play every game.

"In my mind, maybe it is also on me, I started to do some bad things. But yes, it was just this moment in life and sometimes you have to make decisions and I am really proud to be here and still in the Premier League at a club like this."

Asked if his exit hurt, Garnacho added: "Yeah, maybe yes, because I loved that club, you know? They gave me the confidence from the start, from Spain, to bring me to the academy, then they bring me to the first team, so it was like four or five years, and amazing love from everyone, from the fans, the stadium, everything was really good.

"It's just sometimes you have to change for the good of your life or the next steps. I only have good memories of Man Utd."

Speaking about Garnacho earlier this year, Chelsea boss Rosenior said: “Garna is a top player. We have changed a little bit tactically since I came in. I have wanted to dominate midfield areas, which has meant at times I have only played with one winger.

"But Garna is an outstanding player. What I have really liked in this period is his reaction to not starting. He has been training very, very well. He has shown real positivity."
