Aston Villa Set to Sign Out-of-Favour Chelsea Winger: Report
Aston Villa are reportedly in advanced talks for Chelsea forward Alejandro Garnacho on a loan-to-buy deal, with the club seeking around £42 million for the player surplus to requirements.
- Aston Villa are in advanced talks to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea on a loan-to-buy deal, with manager Unai Emery identifying the 22-year-old as a key target to bolster attacking options.
- After just 12 months at Stamford Bridge, Garnacho is surplus to requirements under Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso, having managed just 22 starts across all competitions last season.
- Chelsea seek around £42 million for the winger, who registered eight goals during his 14 Premier League starts, as parties negotiate a season-long loan with conditions that remain "movable."
- With Morgan Rogers set to join Chelsea for £117 million, creating an attacking void at Villa Park, Unai Emery's side requires reinforcements for their upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign.
- The Athletic's David Ornstein claimed the pursuit is unrelated to the Rogers switch, and Villa hopes the loan provides the Argentine attacker an opportunity to rediscover his form in the West Midlands.
