Alejandro Garnacho ‘might be finished’ at Aston Villa as verdict reached on ‘backing out’ of Chelsea deal

Alejandro Garnacho faces an uncertain future at Aston Villa as reports indicate the club could back out of signing him permanently from Chelsea. The 22-year-old winger joined Villa on loan during the summer transfer window with a conditional £43m purchase obligation linked to appearances. However, former Premier League scout Mick Brown suggested to Football Insider that Garnacho might already be finished at Villa Park after failing to impress manager Unai Emery.

Garnacho has struggled for playing time since arriving, logging just 95 minutes across seven substitute appearances without making a single start. Villa are reportedly prepared to freeze the Argentine winger out of the first team to avoid triggering the permanent transfer clause if his performances do not show improvement.
