# Alejandro Garnacho open to Roma move as Chelsea set transfer stance

**Alejandro Garnacho is open to leaving Chelsea this summer, with Roma interested in signing the Argentina winger.**

[Fabrizio Romano reports](https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2075837744903782860) that Roma want Garnacho, but their current interest is based around an initial loan. Chelsea, however, are insisting on a permanent deal before opening the door to an exit.

The 22-year-old would be keen on the move if Roma can find a structure that works for Chelsea.

## Chelsea Want Permanent Garnacho Exit

Chelsea’s stance is clear enough for now. They are not looking to loan Garnacho out at this stage.

That position makes sense from a squad-planning view. Garnacho arrived from Manchester United in a £40m deal last summer, but his first season at Stamford Bridge did not settle his long-term place under Xabi Alonso.

A loan would delay the decision and keep uncertainty on Chelsea’s books. A permanent sale would give the club cleaner room to reshape the wide positions.

ReadChelsea also reported earlier this week that [Chelsea are seeking a permanent transfer sale for Garnacho](https://readchelsea.com/2026/07/07/garnacho-sale-chelsea-40m-wing-call/), with the winger’s future becoming one of the club’s key exit stories.

Roma’s interest now gives the situation a live route, but the structure remains the obstacle.

If the Italian club only want a loan, Chelsea may hold firm. If they return with a permanent proposal, Garnacho’s Stamford Bridge exit could move quickly.
