Chelsea have struck a \u00a3117m agreement with Unai Emery&#8217;s side for the England international following an outstanding season at Villa Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Fabrizio Romano claims that Villa made enquiries about Garnacho during those transfer negotiations for Rogers, yet the player has no desire to join the Europa League champions. It&#8217;s claimed that Garnacho would favour a switch to Serie A outfit AS Roma and has made them his preference, having struggled to make his mark since departing United for Chelsea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Argentinian winger made 43 appearances across all competitions for the Blues last season, netting eight goals and contributing four assists for his teammates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Roma are reportedly interested in a loan arrangement with an option to buy the 22-year-old permanently, with United monitoring the situation closely. It&#8217;s claimed Chelsea would be willing to sell Garnacho if bids in the region of \u00a342.5m arrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Garnacho rejecting any chance of Chelsea striking a swap-plus-cash offer for Rogers is good news for United, as they could&#8217;ve faced missing out on millions had he agreed to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>United received \u00a340m for Garnacho last summer and could be set for a further financial boost if he is sold in a straight cash move, having shrewdly negotiated a 10 per cent sell-on clause in the original deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Michael Carrick&#8217;s outfit registered pure profit under the Premier League&#8217;s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) from Garnacho&#8217;s switch to Chelsea, owing to his academy graduate status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The identical accounting advantage would apply to any sale-on income they collect through the aforementioned sell-on clause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>United have already bolstered their squad in preparation for a return to Champions League football with the additions of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Reds remain active in the transfer market and any financial injection will prove crucial in their capacity to land their primary transfer targets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly turned down a move to Aston Villa&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
