Aston Villa have submitted an official bid to Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho, Softfootball understands, following initial discussions between the two clubs earlier this week.
The proposal is based on an initial loan deal with a buy clause, a structure that is currently being discussed as negotiations continue.
Villa manager Unai Emery has approved Garnacho as a priority attacking target, with the Argentine winger viewed as an ideal addition to strengthen the club’s forward line ahead of the new season.
Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson were among the players discussed during recent talks between Aston Villa and Chelsea as both clubs explored potential transfer opportunities.
Negotiations are now progressing on multiple fronts, with talks ongoing between Aston Villa and the player’s representatives as the Midlands club look to convince Garnacho to make the move.
While no agreement has been reached at this stage, discussions remain active as Aston Villa push to secure one of their priority targets before the transfer window closes.
