Alejandro Garnacho has not been at Chelsea long, but it looks as though the club are already thinking about selling him.
Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United at the end of the last summer transfer window, so he has not even been at Stamford Bridge for a year yet.
However, it has been claimed that Chelsea would welcome offers for Garnacho at the end of the season. That would leave Liam Rosenior possibly needing a replacement for the 21-year-old.

Chelsea should revive Anthony Gordon interest amid Alejandro Garnacho talk
In terms of potential candidates to replace Garnacho, Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon could be a great option.
The Englishman could be available this summer, with FootballTransfers reporting that Arsenal are planning to make a move for him.
In the past, Chelsea have also shown interest in signing Gordon. Back in the 2022 summer transfer window, Chelsea made more than one bid for Gordon, showing how much they wanted the then-Everton attacker.
In the end, Gordon remained at Goodison Park before joining Newcastle in January 2023. There, he has developed into one of the most dangerous attackers in the Premier League, making him a name worth targeting again for Chelsea.

This season, Gordon has scored 17 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions. Ten of those goals have come in the Champions League, showing that the 25-year-old is now capable of playing at the highest level.
He has been up and down in the Premier League this term, but his first full campaign as a Newcastle player was really impressive. In the 2023/24 season, Gordon scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 35 top-flight outings.
Chelsea’s current wingers are just not capable of matching that kind of output. Garnacho, for example, has only scored one goal in the Premier League since joining the Blues.
He is a young attacker who has a lot of potential and time to improve. But if Chelsea want to get rid of him and desire a replacement, Gordon could be their man.
