The Story in 60 Seconds

Aston Villa are reportedly prepared to back out of a permanent deal for Chelsea loanee Alejandro Garnacho if his performances do not improve. The 22-year-old winger moved to Villa Park on a loan deal featuring an appearance-based conditional £43m purchase obligation, but the club is prepared to limit his playing time to avoid triggering the clause.

Garnacho has experienced a slow start to the 2026/27 season, registering just 60 minutes across five substitute appearances for Unai Emery's side. Although Emery recently praised the Argentine following a 20-minute cameo in a 3-1 win over Viking, reports indicate the club is ready to freeze him out unless he proves his worth.
