Both Chelsea and Garnacho have determined that they want the relationship to end, and are exploring options for a move away this summer.
Garnacho has been absent from the Chelsea pre-season training sessions so far this summer, as speculation about his future rages on.

Paolo Dybala pushing for Alejandro Garnacho to join Chelsea
Roma have been mentioned as a side interested in signing the Argentine, with Garnacho keen on joining the Serie A side this summer.
One of the big reasons behind this may be the presence of Paolo Dybala there, with the two striking up a good friendship off the pitch.
Alfredo Pedulla stated on his YouTube channel that Dybala is helping the push for him to join him at Roma this summer.
He said: “Dybala is hoping a friend of his will come to Rome. His friend is called Alejandro Garnacho. And I’ll return for a second to this background of a situation that will have developments, in my opinion, after this weekend because Roma has understood that, for Garnacho and between Garnacho and Chelsea, it’s more or less the ‘end credits.’
“And his friend who supports him in quotation marks is clearly called Paolo Dybala, not only because they are both Argentinians, but also because they have a great relationship.
“There are social media stories from Garnacho’s partner , who posted a story in Rome some time ago, then people close to him published a photo in a Roma jersey.”

Chelsea and Dybala – the missed opportunity
While Dybala is not at the heights now he once was, there is no taking away from what a quality player he was in his prime.
Chelsea were strongly linked to Dybala on a number of occasions throughout his career, with Mauricio Pochettino a massive fan of his.
The deal never got completed though, making the saga one of the biggest ‘what ifs’ involving Chelsea in recent memory.
