Chelsea seek £40 million permanent sale of Alejandro Garnacho as Roma pushes loan

Chelsea are now said to want about €50 million for a permanent deal after sidelining Garnacho, with Roma linked to a loan approach the club has rejected.

Summary

Chelsea are pressing for a permanent sale of Alejandro Garnacho and are reportedly valuing the winger at about €50 million, while continuing to reject loan structures. The Argentine joined from Manchester United on August 30, 2025 for a reported £40 million and signed through 2032, but has quickly fallen out of the first-team picture after starting just one of Chelsea’s last 12 fixtures this season. Under new manager Xabi Alonso, Garnacho is reportedly no longer training with the squad as Chelsea actively seek a permanent transfer, with Roma linked to interest but not on Chelsea’s preferred terms. The latest asking price, described as roughly £45 million for Premier League buyers, is above Chelsea’s initial outlay and reflects the club’s push to sell rather than sanction a temporary move.
