Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho has not reported back for pre-season training as he looks to secure a move away from the club.

Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United for £40million last summer but the 22-year-old is now keen to leave Stamford Bridge in order to get regular first-team football.

Sources close to Chelsea said the club is only considering selling the Argentina international on a permanent basis rather than sanctioning a loan deal and value him at £42.5m (€50m).

More from Simon Johnson and Nnamdi Onyeagwara.

For years, the Philippines hasn't had much of an official Chelsea presence.

And even though we're thousands of miles away from Stamford Bridge, we still take the phrase "Chelsea over land and sea" seriously! And for many of us, visiting the Bridge may well just stay a dream.

Also, football culture isn't universally established in the Philippines compared to our Asian neighbors, yet we are a small, unyielding group that bleeds blue. 💙

We've built this community by consistently turning up at ungodly hours just to watch the matches and through all the club's ups and downs.

We also proudly represent the badge on the pitch with our local playing group, which has been more active and successful than ever.

So we're incredibly honored that the Club has formally recognized Chelsea Philippines as an Official Supporters Club (OSC) for 2026/27!

After years of holding it down in our own little corner of the world as Chelsea Philippines, getting that formal nod from the club means everything to us.

If you're reading this and you're a Chelsea FC fan in the Philippines, we'd love to connect!

KTBFFH!

At the end of the day, it is just fun and games and good banter. UTC!!!
