Alejandro Garnacho could be heading for an exit from Chelsea after less than a year at the club after turning to social media to seemingly air his frustrations at the club.
Garnacho has proved inconsistent on the pitch since joining Chelsea from Manchester United last summer for €46 million and he has only made 14 starts in the Premier League this season.
The 21-year-old has fallen out of favour as a starter under Liam Rosenior and reports have begun to emerge that Chelsea could move Garnacho on this summer after his underwhelming debut campaign.
Garnacho spoke earlier this month of regrets over how his time at United ended, having fallen out with former Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim which resulted in his exile and eventual sale last summer.
And the winger has raised further eyebrows by deleing all the Chelsea content from his personal TikTok page while reposting two Man Utd clips dedicated to ‘missing’ him.
Chelsea are still believed to be considering signing a new left winger this summer which would push Garnacho further down the pecking order and his latest social media controversy could alienate him further to Rosenior.
Garnacho facing fight for future after Man Utd comments
Garnacho spoke in January about his decline in gametime under Rosenior compared to Chelsea’s previous manager Enzo Maresca but the youngster insisted he was committed to regaining his place in the line-up.
The Argentine international had also previously refused to be drawn over his United exit but he opened up last week about the ‘bad things’ which ultimately led to his downfall at Old Trafford, having once been touted as a key player.
“At [Man Utd], I have nothing wrong to say about the club.”

Asked if he had any regrets over the way he left Man United, Garnacho told Sky Sports: “Maybe yes, because I loved that club. They gave me the confidence from the start.
“In my mind, maybe it is also on me, I started to do some bad things. But yes, it was just this moment in life, and sometimes you have to make decisions, and I am really proud to be [at Chelsea] and still in the Premier League at a club like this.
“Everyone knows the team we have and the things we can do. Sometimes, we have better moments or worse moments.”
Having seen Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella come under fire for controversial interviews in recent weeks, Garnacho could incur the wrath of Chelsea and Rosenior and potentially see his fate sealed in the summer.
Chelsea are expected to target another winger and, while the club insist no decision has been made over Garnacho’s future, it will take a significant reversal for the forward to prove his worth as a starter for Rosenior.
