However, after two years of player amortisation at the end of any potential loan, the book margin will be somewhat equal.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that is if Roma do decide to sign Garnacho permanently. The Argentina international has failed at Chelsea and a new home is best for all parties involved. But Chelsea and BlueCo will surely reject it.<\/p>\n<p>Reports say Chelsea are unwilling to accept a loan offer for Garnacho this summer, and will only consider permanent offers. Chelsea believe they can take their \u00a340m fee back in due to Garnacho\u2019s numbers.<\/p>\n<p>That might be somewhat delusional given the season Garnacho has just had, and the reputation that precedes him. Ultimately, Chelsea want to sell Garnacho permanently; a loan offer won\u2019t be entertained.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-chelsea-would-be-wrong-to-reject-garnacho-loan-offer\">Why Chelsea would be wrong to reject Garnacho loan offer<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the stance, which is mistakenly admirable, Chelsea are not going to receive a better offer for the wide man.
