Article continues under the video<\/center> <\/p>\nThe 22-year-old is expected to leave Stamford Bridge after just one season at the club, and Roma are among the teams keeping close tabs on his situation in west London ahead of a possible summer deal.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s understood that Chelsea and Garnacho have both agreed to pursue a permanent sale before the end of the summer transfer window, and he is yet to report to the Blues\u2019 Cobham training base for pre-season as he explores his options.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, when asked about the Argentine during his first press conference as Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso said: \u201cWell the situation, we have spoken with the sports directors and there is an interest from him, from other clubs, so let’s see how it develops. But hopefully it finishes in the best possible way for all the parties.\u201d<\/p>\n
Serie A side Roma have been heavily linked with a move for Garnacho in recent weeks and they have now lodged their first official bid, according to a report from Gianluca Di Marzio<\/b>.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s claimed that Roma have submitted a \u20ac5 million loan offer, with the option to make the deal permanent for \u20ac35m next summer. If certain conditions are met, however, this clause will automatically be triggered.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are yet to respond to Roma\u2019s first bid, although it has previously been reported that only a permanent sale would be considered, with the Blues not interested in sending Garnacho out on loan for the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

\u00a9 IMAGO – Alejandro Garnacho, Chelsea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAnalysis: How much is Alejandro Garnacho worth?<\/h2>\n Despite Garnacho\u2019s underwhelming form during his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea\u2019s valuation of the winger is spot-on.<\/p>\n
The Blues want a fee of \u20ac50m to sanction a sale and his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) currently stands at \u20ac49.6m.<\/p>\n
This is a notable dip from his career-peak of \u20ac70.9m back in September 2024, but it\u2019s still a notable figure and is largely due to the fact he is still only 22 years old and has six years remaining on his current contract at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
As a result, Alonso\u2019s side may well hold out for a more significant offer from Roma or any other interested parties.<\/p>\n
