​Roma have been pressing to land a major attacking signing this summer, and while their bid for Mason Greenwood has fallen short, the idea of bringing in Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho remains very much on the table. Alfredo Pedulla has reported that the Giallorossi are showing strong interest in the Argentine, who appeals to them more than Nottingham Forest’s Dan Ndoye or Strasbourg’s Diego Moreira. They are closely monitoring Garnacho’s situation and waiting for Chelsea to settle on a course of action regarding the player. So far, the Blues have not yet made a decision, and Garnacho is expected to report to the club’s training camp in the coming days. If Roma sense an opportunity, they are ready to lodge a formal inquiry or offer.
Garnacho’s trajectory over the past couple of seasons has stalled, and he could benefit from joining a club where he can play to his strengths. While Gian Piero Gasperini’s system has historically played well for players of his profile, Roma are reluctant to embark on a permanent deal without fully assessing the risk. That is why an initial loan arrangement would be a prudent route: it would mitigate long-term risk, allow Roma to evaluate his fit within their plans, and enable a more informed decision before considering a permanent transfer. A temporary loan would also grant Garnacho a chance to rebuild form and confidence in a challenging environment, while giving Roma a clearer sense of whether he can contribute at a high level in Serie A.
Roma’s strategy appears to favor taking a measured approach, balancing ambition with prudence. The club’s scouting network remains attentive to Garnacho’s availability and Chelsea’s timing, weighing whether a short-term loan could unlock a longer-term solution if the player recaptures his best form. For Garnacho, a successful stint in Rome could serve as a catalyst to reclaim earlier promise, while for Roma it could be the low-risk pathway to a potentially high-reward addition to their attack. As the summer unfolds, all eyes will be on Chelsea’s decision and how quickly Roma can translate interest into a concrete, workable move.
