Top source says Chelsea now open to selling player they only signed in the summer

Top source Alex Crook of talkSPORT claims Chelsea are now open to selling Alejandro Garnacho in the summer.

This is despite only signing him last summer for a fee of around £40m, proving that they have failed once again in the recruitment department.

It’s incredible really. I think pretty much every Chelsea fan I spoke to at the time did not want Garnacho to come to Chelsea. He wasn’t even doing anything at Manchester United, what on earth did we see in him? He’s just not good enough, it’s as simple as that. And now, Chelsea look to be getting rid of him already, if they are going to be lucky enough to find a buyer anyway! I do doubt that bit.

Garnacho off already?

The report states that Chelsea are willing to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer.

There is an acceptance among the Stamford Bridge hierarchy the £40m signing of Garnacho is not working out.

Another waste of time, money, and another signing when we could have signed someone who was actually decent!

Liam Delap has said Chelsea have the belief they can finish in the top five and win the FA Cup despite their struggles this season. I’d like some of his positivity!

And on Delap, we are already hearing the excuses about why he has not been playing well in a Chelsea shirt since arriving in the summer. We’re all tired of excuses to be honest.
