Chelsea have been advised to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer, a move that could trigger a lucrative sell-on clause for Manchester United. The 21-year-old Argentine winger joined the Blues from United for £40 million last August but has struggled to make a sustained impact at Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho scored eight goals and provided four assists in his debut season, but only one of those goals came in the Premier League across 24 appearances. With Xabi Alonso set to take over as Chelsea manager, former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy believes Garnacho is the most likely candidate to be sold among the club's attacking options.
Manchester United inserted a 10 per cent sell-on clause in the deal when they sold Garnacho, having originally sought £50 million for the player. If Chelsea can recoup their investment, United would receive a tidy financial boost for their transfer budget.
Murphy told the Metro: 'I think Alejandro Garnacho has struggled, and the fans haven’t taken to him. If one was going to leave, I think it would more likely be Garnacho than Liam Delap.' Garnacho remains under contract at Chelsea until 2032, but his future is uncertain as Alonso looks to reshape the squad after a 10th-place Premier League finish.
