Alejandro Garnacho faces an uncertain future at Aston Villa after struggling for playing time during his season-long loan from Chelsea. The 22-year-old winger has made just three substitute appearances totaling just over 30 minutes under manager Unai Emery and has failed to feature in the club's last four matches, including a 3-2 victory against Tottenham.

The transfer also features a conditional obligation to buy for around £40m if undisclosed criteria are met, while several unnamed La Liga clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation.
