Alejandro Garnacho transfer thrown into major doubt as ex-Man United star’s struggles continue

Alejandro Garnacho's prospective permanent transfer to Aston Villa is in doubt following a difficult start to his season-long loan from Chelsea. The 22-year-old winger has appeared as a substitute just three times under manager Unai Emery and remained an unused substitute in Villa's recent fixtures, including a Carabao Cup victory against Coventry City.

The loan agreement includes an option to make the move permanent for £43 million, which would become an obligation if specific performance targets are met. With no break clause included in the deal, Chelsea may need to seek other suitors next summer, with La Liga clubs reportedly monitoring the former Manchester United player.
