Premier League
Alejandro Garnacho has become one of the names to watch in the upcoming days of the market. The Argentine forward does not have his continuity guaranteed as a Chelsea player, and the sports management is considering a sale after an inconsistent first season.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso to the bench has opened a new chapter at Stamford Bridge. The coach is reviewing a very extensive squad, and according to reports from Italy and England, the winger is not considered essential to rebuild the project.
Alejandro Garnacho is no longer a priority for Xabi Alonso
The future of Alejandro Garnacho could be clarified between this weekend and the first days of next week. An internal meeting is scheduled to decide whether he starts the preseason with chances of staying or is given permission to seek a new destination.
The Argentine international turned 22 years old on July 1st and has a contract until June 2032. The Londoners made an investment of over 45 million euros to sign him from Manchester United in August 2025, so they do not want to incur a significant loss.
His performance also failed to meet the expectations generated by the transfer. The forward played 43 official matches, scored eight goals, and provided four assists, although in the Premier League he only managed to score once and lost prominence during the decisive phase.
In London, they still value his speed, flair, and ability to attack spaces from the left wing. The issue is that Xabi Alonso has several offensive alternatives and wants to reduce competition that could again limit his minutes.
AS Roma awaits an opportunity in the market
AS Roma has been one of the first clubs to inquire about the conditions for a possible deal. The Italian club is looking to strengthen the attacking sides and believes that Alejandro Garnacho combines youth, international experience, and potential to regain his best form.
The initial approach was to explore a loan, a formula that would allow the Roman side to limit the financial risk. However, the English club initially prefers a permanent sale to recoup a significant portion of the amount invested last summer.
This difference does not mean that discussions are closed. Italian sources claim that alternative structures could be analyzed, such as a loan with an option or an obligation to buy tied to sporting objectives, provided the figures are acceptable to all parties.
AS Roma can also offer him a more significant role and a favorable tactical context. The Argentine needs continuity to be decisive again, while the Italian side is seeking a vertical winger who can change games with accelerations and box entries.

An exit to reclaim the spotlight
Leaving the Premier League would entail a significant change after several seasons in England, but it could also revitalize a career that lost momentum during the last season. In Serie A, he would have the opportunity to take on more responsibility and distance himself from the pressure of his expensive signing.
Other teams remain attentive, although Roma has an advantage for having acted in advance. The scheduled meeting will be crucial to know the asking price, the terms of the deal, and the willingness of a player who needs to feel important.
The scenario points towards a separation, but the definitive approval of Xabi Alonso and the London management is still pending. If the door is officially opened, Alejandro Garnacho could become one of the great opportunities in the market for Italian football.
