Alejandro Garnacho has been placed on the transfer list less than a year after signing for Chelsea, reports claim.
Garnacho only joined the Blues in the summer transfer window, signing for around £40 million after being ostracised by Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.
The Argentina international has scored eight times in 37 appearances in all competitions, one of which has come in the Premier League.
Garnacho penned a seven-year contract with Chelsea in line with the west London club's long-term approach but it appears as though he is already available for transfer.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea are open to selling Garnacho as they believe they can receive a similar fee to what they paid to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Phillips said that Chelsea felt the left wing market was "dry" and believe there have been "some recruitment regrets".
Chelsea spent around £317 million on new players and also snapped up Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens along with Garnacho.
He too has struggled for consistency, with just one goal in 27 games.
Garnacho has performed well in the cup competitions for Chelsea, scoring in the 7-0 trouncing of Port Vale on Saturday.
But his form in the league has left a lot to be desired, with just one goal and four assists in 20 appearances.
Chelsea have 18-year-old Geovany Quenda joining from Sporting CP in the summer for around £44 million after a deal was previously thrashed out.
That could limit Garnacho's gametime further and it appears as though the club are not desperate to keep him.
His situation at Chelsea has impacted his chances with the Argentina national team, with Garnacho left out of Lionel Scaloni's latest squad and looking like he may be absent from the 2026 World Cup plans.
Garnacho was heavily courted by Napoli but it remains to be seen whether they will renew their interest.
