Chelsea booked their place in the FA Cup final with a victory over Leeds on Sunday, but one player still faces the wrath of the club’s supporters.
“Sell Him Now”: Chelsea Fans Turn on Alejandro Garnacho After Leeds Win
Fans directed heavy criticism at Alejandro Garnacho despite the team’s win at Wembley.
The winger struggled throughout the semi-final, and Chelsea supporters cheered loudly when manager Calum McFarlane replaced him with Cole Palmer in the 71st minute.
The reaction on social media turned vicious after the match. On X, dozens of fans called for the club to sell Garnacho immediately.
Many described his performance as lackluster and insisted he does not deserve another chance in a Chelsea shirt.
Chelsea entered the Leeds clash on a terrible run. They had lost three straight games and seven of their previous eight matches.
Their only victory during that stretch came against Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-final.
The losing streak cost Liam Rosenior his job as manager.
Caretaker boss Calum McFarlane guided the team to the final, but even that achievement has not lifted the gloom around Garnacho.
Sources inform TEAMtalk that Chelsea have already decided to offload Garnacho.
The club signed him from Manchester United less than a year ago for £40 million, but they do not expect to take a significant loss on the transfer.
Chelsea are actively searching for replacements. Yan Diomande, Morgan Rogers, and Nico Williams feature on their shortlist.
The Blues have also joined the race for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, who many expect to leave this summer.
Garnacho’s poor display against Leeds will likely speed up Chelsea’s decision to sell. Fans made their feelings clear, and the club appears ready to listen.
