Fabrizio Romano has dropped the long-awaited news – it’s a “here we go” on Alejandro Garnacho’s loan move to Aston Villa.
The winger will go on loan to Villa, with a “buy clause to become mandatory under certain conditions,” according to Romano.
The transfer is not complete yet – Garnacho still has to pass a medical. But the clinic is already booked in, and we should get the announcement before the end of the week, if not tomorrow.
After Morgan Rogers’ move the other way, it always felt likely there would be a Chelsea to Villa move to balance things a little, and indeed almost immediately after the Rogers deal became concrete, this one followed suit.
Judgement reserved on Garnacho deal until more details come out
It’s always impossible to judge these deals up front – so much depends on what the conditions are for the compulsory purchase, and what the fee for it is.
Usually those numbers filter out during the season. But whatever they are, at least this is one item ticked off the list for the summer as Chelsea look to trim their squad once again.
