Known for its strong squad, tactical versatility, and competitive history, Chelsea has won multiple league titles, domestic cups,\u2026            <a class=\"sx-entity-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/team\/chelsea\/\"><br \/>\n                Read More about CHELSEA\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per the latest transfer news, Roma have reportedly lodged an offer worth close to \u20ac38 million to Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho. The Italian club sees the winger as the ideal fit for their attack this summer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-alejandro-garnacho-roma-offer-rejected-by-chelsea\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alejandro Garnacho Roma Offer Rejected By Chelsea<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Blues<\/strong>however, are not budging just yet. <strong>As reported by<\/strong> ESPN, Roma are reportedly considering a package worth \u20ac38 million for the 22-year-old. Roma haven\u2019t ruled out a loan structure either, one that could convert into a permanent deal down the line. Alejandro Garnacho only joined from Manchester United last summer. Chelsea paid \u00a340 million for him, so a cut-price exit was never going to be easy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho missed out on Argentina\u2019s World Cup squad entirely. He has also been training in isolation from Xabi Alonso\u2019s first-team group at Cobham this summer. His standing at the club has clearly diminished since his arrival in west London.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea, though, are holding firm on their price. <strong>As reported by<\/strong> Sports Mole, the Blues owners only want a permanent deal. They remain reluctant to accept a loan, even one with a buy clause attached. So, the two clubs still sit some distance apart on structure alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alejandro Garnacho for Chelsea in 2025\/26<\/strong>as per FOTMOB:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Competitions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Matches<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Starts<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Assists<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Premier League<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>FA Cup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>EFL Cup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>UCL<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-xabi-alonso-addresses-the-uncertainty\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xabi Alonso Addresses The Uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xabi Alonso, unveiled as Chelsea boss this week, faced the question head-on. <strong><em>\u201cThere is an interest from him, from other clubs, so let\u2019s see how it develops,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>  he said, <strong>as reported by<\/strong> Football Transfers. He also hoped the saga would end well for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That short statement confirmed what many already suspected. Alejandro Garnacho\u2019s time at Stamford Bridge looks close to finished. So, the focus now shifts fully toward agreeing a fee both sides can accept.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As reported by<\/strong> Get Italian Football News, Chelsea have already rejected Roma\u2019s opening bid. Still, talks continue quietly behind the scenes. Reportedly, agent Jorge Mendes has become involved too. He is working to bridge the gap between Roma\u2019s loan plan and Chelsea\u2019s wish for guaranteed money upfront.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The numbers matter more than they first appear. The Blues need to recoup close to \u00a334 million just to avoid a loss on paper. That is simply how amortisation works in football these days. So, any offer below that mark becomes a tough sell internally for the club.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64-768x432.webp 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-64-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-comes-next-for-alejandro-garnacho\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Comes Next For Alejandro Garnacho<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roma, for their part, are keeping other options open rather than committing fully to one target. <strong>As reported by<\/strong> GOAL, the Giallorossi have also made contact over West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville. They continue to track Strasbourg\u2019s Diego Moreira too. So, this remains one option among several rather than their only viable target.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, there is real appeal to a move. Alejandro Garnacho is close friends with Paulo Dybala, who also plays in Rome. Regular Serie A <strong>football<\/strong> would help him rebuild his confidence too. His numbers last season were solid rather than spectacular. He managed twelve goal contributions in just over 2,100 minutes across the <strong>Premier League<\/strong> and cup football combined, <strong>as reported by<\/strong> The Hard Tackle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From this vantage point, a compromise looks more likely than a total breakdown in talks. Both clubs have shown real willingness to talk. Chelsea also begin their pre-season tour of Australia on July 25. That gives everyone a natural deadline to work toward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, this transfer will say plenty about how BlueCo handles underperforming signings going forward. Whether Roma raise their offer or another club steps in, this particular saga should not drag on for much longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read More: <em>Xabi Alonso breaks silence on Enzo Fernandez future<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read: <em>Adam Wharton: Chelsea take control after Liverpool decision<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read Next: <em>Enzo Fernandez sets timeline for Chelsea future decision<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"after-article-links\" style=\"margin-top:20px; font-size:14px;\">Follow the latest updates from <strong>Premier League<\/strong>, <strong>The League<\/strong> and<br \/>\n        <strong>Champions League<\/strong>or explore more<br \/>\n        <strong>Football<\/strong> stories, <strong>Football Teams<\/strong> &#038; <strong>All Football Competitions<\/strong> .
