Alejandro Garnacho has struggled in his first season at Stamford Bridge and has sparked fresh speculation regarding his future by scrubbing all club-related content from his official TikTok account.
Garnacho arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer in a £40 million move from Manchester United. However, things has not gone according to plan in London as the Argentina international struggles for game time.
The 21-year-old has featured 38 times across all competitions this term, yet he has often found himself restricted to a peripheral role, starting only 14 Premier League fixtures.
Garnacho now seems fed up with the situation. According to talkSPORT, he has deleted all videos relating to Chelsea from his personal TikTok account while reposting two Man Utd clips dedicated to him.
Fans will be shocked to learn Garnacho’s action comes just days after he gave a candid interview regarding his exit from Manchester United.

Garnacho during the interview reflected on the deep emotional ties he still holds with the club that developed him.
Speaking to Premier League productions about his departure and whether he regrets anything, Garnacho said: “Maybe yes, because I loved that club. They gave me the confidence from the start. From Spain, to bring me to the academy, then they bring me to the first team. So it was like four or five years, and amazing love from everyone.
“I remember in the last six months I was just not playing like before at Manchester United. I started to be on the bench, it’s not a bad thing. I was only 20-years old, but in my mind it was like I had to play every game. In my mind, maybe it is also on me, I started to do some bad things.”
Despite his admission of past mistakes, Garnacho emphasised that he remains professional regarding his current commitments at Stamford Bridge.
He added: “But yes, it was just this moment in life and sometimes you have to make decisions and I am really proud to be here [at Chelsea] and still in the Premier League at a club like this. Everyone knows the team we have and the things we can do.
“Sometimes, we have better moments or worse moments, I am proud to be here but with United, I have nothing wrong to say about the club, no one in the club or the team-mates. It’s just a moment in life that changes and life continues.”
Garnacho’s current contract at Chelsea will not expire until 2032, and it’s still unclear if he’ll be punished for his latest social media action.
Vice-captain Enzo Fernandez recently served a two-match ban for hinting at a move to Real Madrid, missing the FA Cup win over Port Vale and a league defeat to Manchester City.
