Chelsea’s latest signing Alejandro Garnacho has opened up about his decision to join the London club, revealing how manager Enzo Maresca’s vision and playing philosophy convinced him to make the move.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, the Argentine winger said that conversations with Maresca played a key role in his transfer decision. “When I spoke with the club and Maresca, it’s important also the style of play we have. He explained a lot to me in a video call with him,” Garnacho said. “It’s a big chance to improve as a player in a team like Chelsea.”
The 20-year-old, known for his explosive pace and flair, is seen as a major coup for Chelsea as they continue to rebuild under Maresca’s leadership. The Italian coach, who took charge earlier this year, has emphasized a possession-based, attacking system, one that suits Garnacho’s strengths perfectly.
Garnacho’s arrival marks yet another statement of intent from Chelsea, who are investing heavily in young, dynamic talents to form a long-term project. The Blues believe the Argentine winger can add creativity and directness to their attack, providing competition and depth on the flanks.
