Roma push for Garnacho as talks with Chelsea continue

Roma are intensifying their pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho as Gian Piero Gasperini looks to reinforce his attack ahead of the new season. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Argentina international has become one of the club’s top targets, with negotiations ongoing as the Giallorossi attempt to secure an initial loan with an option to buy. Chelsea, however, continue to insist on a permanent transfer.

Garnacho joined the Blues from Manchester United in 2025 for around £40 million, but his playing time diminished toward the end of last season. The 22‑year‑old is therefore open to a move that would guarantee more consistent minutes. Roma are now waiting to see whether Chelsea soften their stance as the window progresses.

Gasperini is reportedly a strong admirer of Garnacho’s pace and direct approach, believing the winger could inject much‑needed dynamism into a forward line that requires fresh solutions.
