According to reports, Aston Villa have now reached an ‘agreement’ to sign Alejandro Garnacho, and they could land a second Chelsea star this summer.
Aston Villa and Chelsea have been deep in talks over several transfers in recent days.
After selling Morgan Rogers to the Blues for around £117m, Aston Villa have been looking to sign former Manchester United star Garnacho.
Garnacho struggled after joining Chelsea last summer and they have opened the door to his exit, with Aston Villa eyeing a loan deal.
And this deal has quickly developed in recent days, with Fabrizio Romano reporting on Wednesday evening that an ‘agreement’ has now been reached.
Romano said on X: ‘EXCLUSIVE: Aston Villa agree deal to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea, here we go!
‘Club to club agreement done on loan with buy clause to become mandatory under certain conditions.
‘Unai Emery wanted Garnacho. Medical also booked.’
And reports in recent days have also indicated that Aston Villa are also targeting £65m-rated Blues forward Nicolas Jackson, who has returned to the Blues following his loan spell at Bayern Munich.
And this deal has been boosted by The Evening Standard reporting that the striker is ‘open’ to joining Aston Villa on loan so he can have regular playing time next season.
