Aston Villa target loan for Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho | OneFootball

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Villa are targeting a loan move for Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho.

The 22-year-old is set to slip down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge following Morgan Rogers’ £117 million switch from Villa, opening the door for the Argentinian to head to Villa Park.

Villa also like Garnacho’s team-mate Nicolas Jackson, whom Unai Emery previously managed at Villarreal. The manager has long admired Garnacho and tried to sign him last summer before his £40m move from Manchester United to Chelsea.

Garnacho made 24 Premier League appearances last season, 10 as a substitute, scoring eight goals, with four from the bench. Emery believes he can revive the winger, mirroring Marcus Rashford, his former Manchester United team-mate, who enjoyed a successful loan at Villa in 2025.

Rogers underwent a medical at Chelsea on Monday after his British record transfer was agreed over the weekend. Emery has put recruiting a winger near the top of his summer priorities.

Villa have heavily scouted Paris Saint-Germain teenager Ibrahim Mbaye, with West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville also on their list. Talks are ongoing with AC Milan over left-back Pervis Estupinan, viewed as a strong replacement for Lucas Digne, who is on the brink of joining Paris Saint-Germain for £8m.

A right-back is also wanted and a move for Flamengo’s Emerson Royal could be revisited later in the window. Villa have already broken their transfer record with the £52m signing of midfielder Johan Manzambi, while Joao Gomes has arrived from Wolves for £38m.
