Here’s the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-23 15:12:00.
Alejandro Garnacho has officially joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan from Chelsea, marking an important move ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
Details of the Transfer
As part of the agreement, Villa has included an obligation for a permanent transfer depending on the number of appearances Garnacho makes. This deal highlights Villa’s commitment to strengthening their squad for the new season.
A Year to Forget at Chelsea
The young winger had a challenging year at Chelsea after his transfer from Manchester United for £40 million ($54 million). In a total of 43 matches across all competitions, he managed to score only eight goals. His performance led to him missing out on a spot in the Argentina squad that reached the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.
Aston Villa has been active in the transfer market, having secured Johan Manzambi from Freiburg for a club record fee, alongside João Gomes from Wolves for £34 million ($46 million) and Modou Keba Cisse from LASK. Unfortunately, they will be without Amadou Onana, who suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury while representing Belgium at the World Cup.
Interestingly, Garnacho’s move to Villa coincides with Morgan Rogers joining Chelsea from Villa in a separate transaction valued at £117 million ($156 million), setting a record for a British player.
