Fabrizio Romano announced the news today that Alejandro Garnacho\u2019s move to Aston Villa is almost done.<\/p>\n

The second part of the medical is \u201congoing now\u201d, with the player having agreed to join Villa and Chelsea having agreed a transfer with Unai Emery\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

The terms were pretty mysterious at first \u2013 but Romano is gradually leaking them into the world. The initial report was just that it was a loan which would be made into a permanent move next summer if certain conditions were met.<\/p>\n

Nobody knew what the loan fee was, what would be necessary to trigger a permanent deal, and how much that would cost Villa. But Romano is already back with more details about the transfer.<\/p>\n

Garnacho option confirmed by Romano<\/h2>\n

While we still don\u2019t know any of the figures, we now know that the \u201cobligation to buy clause is considered easy to reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s \u201calmost guaranteed\u201d that Garnacho makes the move \u2013 presumably it\u2019s just a low number of Premier League appearances or something similarly achievable even without on-pitch success.<\/p>\n

That squares up with what Chelsea wanted \u2013 they had initially insisted on a permanent move only, so the fact that they agreed to a loan always gave the impression it would be one which was easily made permanent.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope for all parties that Garnacho has a great season and moves on in 12 months for a healthy fee that everyone is happy with.<\/p>\n
