Xabi Alonso reveals if Alejandro Garnacho is leaving Chelsea this Summer

Xabi Alonso in his latest pre-season press conference has confirmed if Alejandro Garnacho will either leave or remain at Chelsea this season.

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho will leave Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window, bringing an end to the Argentine winger’s short spell at the club.

The 22-year-old was noticeably absent when Chelsea’s players reported for the first phase of pre-season training at Cobham, with the club already working alongside his representatives to complete a permanent transfer.

Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United just a year ago in a deal worth €46.2 million, but the move has failed to deliver the impact both the player and the club had hoped for. Alonso has now made it clear that the winger is not part of his plans for the 2026/27 campaign.

Why Is Alejandro Garnacho Leaving Chelsea?

Garnacho arrived at Chelsea with high expectations after establishing himself as one of Manchester United’s brightest young talents.

However, he struggled to consistently secure a starting place and was unable to produce the performances expected following his big-money move.

Chelsea and the player have now mutually agreed that the transfer has not worked out as planned, making a summer departure the preferred solution for all parties.
