Romano on Garnacho

Morgan Rogers' move to Chelsea has been officially announced, and in the same conversation, Aston Villa inquired about Garnacho. Before that, there had been no contact between the two parties, but now Garnacho is getting closer to joining Aston Villa.

Villa sent an official offer this afternoon (local time, 21st): a loan with a buy-out clause that would become mandatory under specific conditions. The information I received tonight is that this mandatory buy-out condition is very easy to trigger, which is why Chelsea are prepared to accept Aston Villa's terms.

If Aston Villa can now agree personal terms with Garnacho, they can finalize the deal within the next few hours. Garnacho is very close to joining Aston Villa; it now only needs the player’s final approval. Emery is pushing hard to sign Garnacho and is personally involved. It now depends on the player’s stance, as Chelsea are open to accepting this offer.
