Garnacho joins Aston Villa on season-long loan from Chelsea

Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho has completed a loan move to Aston Villa for the 2026/27 season, with an obligation to make the transfer permanent next summer if certain conditions are fulfilled.

The Argentina international moved to Chelsea from Manchester United last summer. He scored eight goals in 43 appearances for the club during the 2025/26 campaign.

The deal runs for one season, though the permanent clause means Villa could secure Garnacho on a full transfer as early as next summer, subject to the agreed criteria being met.
