Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has strongly pushed back against reports claiming the club wants to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer, calling into question the source of the speculation.

The 21-year-old Argentine winger joined Chelsea from Manchester United in a £40 million deal last September but has struggled for regular starts under Rosenior, who took charge in January 2026. Recent reports, including from The Sun, suggested the new manager has tactical reservations about Garnacho, limiting him to just four Premier League starts this season.

Speaking to journalist Bobby Vincent, Rosenior directly addressed the rumours: “I’d like to know the source of the report. These reports can come from anywhere. Garna is 21 years old. Garna is someone who has special qualities when he is in a good place and he’s in good form. And my job is to help him reach those levels.”

Vincent, a respected Chelsea correspondent, shared the full quote on X, which was quickly picked up by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Rosenior has previously praised Garnacho’s “huge ability and potential” in public, emphasising the importance of consistency for young players. Despite limited minutes, the former Manchester United star has shown flashes of his trademark flair, and the manager insists his role is to develop the winger rather than move him on.

With the summer transfer window approaching, the comments appear designed to quell speculation and reaffirm Chelsea’s commitment to Garnacho. Whether the Argentine can force his way into regular starting XI contention remains to be seen, but Rosenior’s backing suggests the club is not actively shopping him.

Fans will be watching closely as Chelsea prepare for the final stretch of the 2025-26 season. For now, the message from the dugout is clear: Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Stamford Bridge is not up for sale.
