🚨 Understand Chelsea value Garnacho at €50m for clubs abroad and £45m for PL clubs. #CFC ready to let him leave on permanent deal this summer. Garnacho is NOT training under Xabi Alonso as Chelsea work closely with his camp to find solution on exit, same as Andrey Santos. https://t.co/LKXuFCilKc

Chelsea value Alejandro Garnacho at €50m and want a permanent exit. There have been talks with Roma, but the Serie A side want a loan formula. Chelsea are only looking at a permanent sale. Garnacho is drawing interest from England, Italy and Saudi. Like Andrey Santos, he wants to be a regular starter, and Chelsea can’t offer that. Club and player working together to find a solution. Garnacho is yet to report for training as all parties are focused on an exit. Progress being made and it is hoped an exit can be facilitated in the next two weeks.🇦🇷

#CFC value Garnacho at €50m. Has interest from multiple clubs in Europe, Saudi and the PL hence he has not returned to training with club's permission. Wants a guarantee of first team football which he does not have currently.

🚨#Chelsea Alejandro Garnacho, not in Xabi Alonso’s plans at Chelsea, was offered to Juventus over a month ago. 📌 After being left out of the pre‑season squad, his agents approached Juventus, Inter, Roma and Napoli. ⚪ Juventus have paused the evaluation; Inter declined, Roma are open to talks. 💰 Chelsea’s asking price is around €50M; Roma previously proposed €5M loan + €35M obligation.
