Chelsea don hear word say if dem dey plan to sell players this summer, Alejandro Garnacho suppose be di first to go. Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy yarn say di Blues go better off if dem let di Argentine winger leave instead of Liam Delap.
Garnacho, wey be 21 years old, join Chelsea from Manchester United for big money. But since he reach Stamford Bridge, e don struggle to show di kind football wey make United sign am for first place.
For im debut season for west London, Garnacho score eight goals and give four assists. But for Premier League, e only find net once for 24 games. For Champions League, e score once for nine matches. Dat kind performance don make people dey talk say im future for Chelsea no sure.
New manager Xabi Alonso dey set to take charge and e go want put im own stamp on team wey finish 10th for Premier League last season. Alonso fit give Garnacho chance to prove himself, but Murphy no think say di winger go survive.
Murphy tell Metro say, “I think any manager wey come in suppose give players chance, so I think Alonso go want look dem and see wetin dem get. But di other thing be say no be every club go want take players with di wages dem dey collect or pay di fee. Dat na di dynamic of football politics and transfers. You fit easily say ‘dem no do well, make we move dem’, but where to, and for how much?”
Murphy add say, “I think Alejandro Garnacho don struggle, and di fans no take to am. A lot of Chelsea’s wide players don struggle, to be honest. If you look at dia front line, na only Joao Pedro wey don do well. If one player go leave, I think e go be Garnacho, not Liam Delap. Delap na young boy, and e bring some characteristics wey Chelsea no get. E different from Joao Pedro, so I think Xabi Alonso go give am chance.”
Garnacho still get contract until 2032, so e fit still get opportunity to show wetin e get under Alonso. But finding buyer wey go pay im wages and fee fit be big wahala.
If Chelsea sell Garnacho, Manchester United go get 10 percent of di profit, according to di deal wey dem make. United also include sell-on clause when dem sell am. So any sale wey Chelsea do go benefit United small.
