Wetin dey happen for Chelsea? Di big news wey dey ground na say dem dey ready to sell Alejandro Garnacho dis summer. Di Argentine winger wey join Chelsea from Manchester United just last year don dey face uncertain future for Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho, wey be 21 years old, bin dey seen as next big thing for Old Trafford. But im career don dey go down for past few years. Chelsea pay around £40 million to sign am last summer, hoping say e go show im potential.
But under manager Liam Rosenior, Garnacho no dey get plenty playing time. E don start just eight matches since Rosenior replace Enzo Maresca. Three of dose starts come against lower league teams for FA Cup. Overall, e score four goals and provide two assists under di English manager.
According to Samuel Luckhurst for The Sun newspaper, Chelsea dey open to part ways with Garnacho dis summer. Rosenior sef get reservations about di Argentine winger. Di timing of di news dey interesting – e come out just before Chelsea match against Manchester United dis weekend.
We all remember how Garnacho im time for Manchester United end. Di Argentine push through transfer to Chelsea. But now, e look like e fit move again sooner than anybody expect.
Of course, Rosenior own future for Chelsea no sure sef. But if e remain as manager beyond dis season, e go have say on summer transfers. Garnacho don do better than Jamie Gittens wey join from Borussia Dortmund and no dey play at all. But di Argentine dey behind Pedro Neto for pecking order, even though Neto prefer play for right side.
Some people dey think say dis na plan from beginning. Sign Garnacho when im time for Manchester United don finish, then sell am later for bigger money. If Chelsea sell Garnacho dis summer and collect more than £40 million, dem go praise dia vision. But if dem sell am for loss, na anoda BlueCo move wey no work.
Garnacho fit still remain for Chelsea. No forget say e still just 21 years old. Maybe too early to give up on am. But di Argentine need to improve plenty if e wan start matches for Blues.
