Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly close to a loan move from Chelsea to Aston Villa, according to ESPN sources. The deal includes an obligation to buy, triggered by appearance milestones.
This would mark Garnacho's third Premier League club in as many seasons, following his transfer from Manchester United to Chelsea last summer. The Argentina international recorded eight goals in 43 appearances for Chelsea last season, which contributed to his omission from Argentina's World Cup squad.
Aston Villa has been active in the transfer window. Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans have departed for Chelsea and Manchester United, respectively. Switzerland international Johan Manzambi has joined from Freiburg. Sources indicate Villa received £117 million for Rogers, setting a new record for the most expensive British player.
