Chelsea accused of ‘daylight robbery’ for slapping ‘laughable’ transfer valuation on ex-Man Utd flop Alejandro Garnacho

CHELSEA have been put on full blast after slapping a £43million valuation on Alejandro Garnacho despite a hapless debut season at Stamford Bridge. The Blues splashed £40million to sign Garnacho, 22, from Manchester United last summer. But the winger failed to set west London on fire with a mere total of eight goals and four assists in 43 appearances last season. Nevertheless, the Argentina international is still adamant that he wants to play first-team football. Thus, Chelsea are looking to sell Garnacho this summer because they can’t guarantee a place in new manager Xabi Alonso‘s starting line-up. SunSport understand, however that the West Londoners will only consider a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal.

However, the Argentine’s suitors will have to splash £43m for Garnacho‘s services. That didn’t sit well with a number of fans who took to social media insisting the forward’s asking price is way too high. One football enthusiast tweeted: “£43m for Garnacho? That’s daylight robbery. Another commented: “Who’s going to pay £43MILLION?” A third wrote: “They desperate to sell him, he ain’t even training under Alonso.” This fan said: “£43M for Garnacho? Lmao! £21M should be a good price.” That one added: “Even Garnacho will be surprised he’s worth £43m.” And a comment read: “Let’s be honest, Garnacho is not worth more than £21m in the market. Chelsea’s valuation of the player is a mirage of what it truly is.” SunSport also understand Chelsea and Garnacho still have a good relationship and are working together to find a solution. The player has yet to report for training as there’s interest from multiple clubs and all parties involved are exploring those opportunities with ongoing talks. Negotiations are progressing so well that significant developments could take place within the next two weeks.
