Garnacho rejects Fiorentina, sets sights on Roma amid Chelsea talks

Nineteen‑year‑old Argentine forward Alejandro Garnacho has publicly ruled out a move to Fiorentina, declaring his sole target is AS Roma as the Italian side readies talks with Chelsea for his potential arrival in the upcoming transfer window, emphasizing his attraction to the Giallorossi project.

Roma are actively seeking to bolster their attacking options, and Alejandro Garnacho has emerged as one of the hottest names on their radar. The club views the Argentine forward as a potential key addition to the squad.

FirenzeViola reported that Fiorentina renewed interest in Garnacho in recent hours, linking the Viola side with the young striker. Despite the attention, Garnacho reiterated his attraction to the Giallorossi project and ruled out wearing the Viola jersey.

AS Roma are monitoring the situation closely and have indicated readiness to sit down with Chelsea for direct negotiations. The Italian side aims to secure the player through talks with the Blues in the upcoming transfer window.

Chelsea’s manager Xabi Alonso does not count the Argentine in his plans, prompting the club’s hierarchy to consider a permanent exit for Garnacho. The lack of inclusion makes a permanent departure more likely.

A permanent transfer would place a heavy financial strain on the Giallorossi, leading Roma to propose a loan deal instead. A loan arrangement would lessen the monetary burden while still bringing the player to the club.

D’Amico and the entire Roma team want to take more time to reflect and find the right solution to bring the 2004‑born player to Gianpiero Gasperini’s side. Their cautious approach highlights the complexity of finalising the move.
