Aston Villa are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho on loan, with a potential obligation to buy. The 21-year-old Argentine winger was made available for sale by Chelsea for £43m last month, but the club is now open to a permanent move under certain conditions, even if it begins as a loan.
This follows Chelsea agreeing a record £117m fee for Morgan Rogers from Villa. Garnacho and striker Nicolas Jackson, available for £65m, were discussed in a separate deal that could see them move to Villa Park. If finalized, Garnacho would be Villa's fourth summer signing.
Chelsea signed Garnacho last September for £40m from Manchester United. His impact at Stamford Bridge has been limited, and the arrivals of Rogers and Geovany Quenda have increased the need to reduce the squad size.
