Softfootball can confirm Chelsea are prepared to part ways with Alejandro Garnacho this summer, with the Argentine winger also open to leaving Stamford Bridge if the right permanent offer arrives.
AS Roma have emerged as one of the clubs most interested in signing Garnacho and have already made enquiries over a possible deal. However, the Serie A side are currently pushing for an initial loan move, while Chelsea are standing firm on their preference for a permanent transfer.
The Blues are not willing to negotiate a temporary exit at this stage, believing a permanent sale would better align with the club’s plans as they continue reshaping the squad under Xabi Alonso.
Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks, although Chelsea’s insistence on a permanent deal remains the biggest obstacle to an agreement.
With Roma maintaining their interest and Garnacho open to the switch, the outcome of the transfer could depend on whether the Italian club decide to change their stance and meet Chelsea’s demands before the transfer window closes.
