The Giallorossi continue to seek exciting attacking wingers to complete their trident in coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s vision, and represent more of a draw now they have qualified for the Champions League after a seven-year absence.

While first choice Mason Greenwood of Olympique Marseille now seems beyond them, Roma are turning towards unsettled talent Garnacho.

According to Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, the 22-year-old is back on the table for the Serie A side, after he was close to Napoli last summer.

The Argentina international was a huge €46.2m investment for Chelsea from Manchester United in August 2025, but has struggled for regular playing time.

Now it remains to be seen whether Chelsea want to simply loan Garnacho out to help his development, or consider a genuine sale.

It is possible Roma could provide both with a loan and option to buy at the end of the season arrangement.

English reports from Graeme Bailey of TEAMtalk claimed that the asking price for a sale would be around €72m, which is clearly not going to be part of the Roma budget.
