Chelsea Winger Attracts Interest from Saudi Arabia Amid Club's Desire to Offload £40m Mistake

Chelsea Winger Attracts Interest from Saudi Arabia Amid Club's Desire to Offload £40m Mistake

Chelsea are looking to sell one of their talented young midfielders this summer, with interest from outside the Premier League. The Blues have done little business so far, after selling their first-choice left back and now pursuing the sale of the young midfielder to a rival for Champions League places.

Last summer's business saw Alejandro Garnacho signed by Chelsea for £40m, but it appears that move did not go as planned. There are already rumors that the Blues want to move him on, and a transfer insider claims that there is interest from Saudi Arabia in the Argentine winger.

An enquiry has been made by a Saudi Arabian club, Al Qadsiah, who are looking for a young left-sided attacker. The insider suggests that there are multiple clubs interested in Garnacho, from the Premier League and beyond. Given that a loan is unlikely to work for Chelsea, it remains to be seen what the interested teams are offering and whether Garnacho would be willing to consider a move to Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, Sunderland are reportedly looking to replicate their successful summer of last year, this time targeting players with an even higher profile. One such player is Bruno Guimaraes, who is in demand from a number of top clubs, with Arsenal currently leading the charge to sign him.
