Chelsea faces a complex transfer dilemma this summer involving two potential deals with Roma.
Roma is eyeing two young attackers linked to the club’s ownership network. The first target is Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho, who would be brought in on a loan with an option to buy. The second prospect is Strasbourg midfielder Diego Moreira, whom Roma intends to acquire through a permanent transfer.
Garnacho, 22, scored eight goals and delivered four assists in 43 appearances during his debut season at Chelsea. The club values him at roughly £42.5 million and insists on a permanent sale. A loan with a purchase option could mitigate the financial risk for Roma while still allowing Chelsea to secure a clean exit.
Moreira offers a different profile. The Belgian player can operate as a winger, wing‑back, or midfielder, providing tactical flexibility. Roma is reportedly willing to pay around €35 million, plus bonuses and a 10 percent sell‑on clause. Strasbourg’s valuation is closer to €40 million, and Chelsea retains a buy‑back clause that could influence the player’s future.
Decisions on both moves hinge on Chelsea’s willingness to move forward and the financial terms each side can agree upon. A permanent sale of Garnacho would support Chelsea’s squad rebuild, while a sensible, structured deal for Moreira could represent a long‑term investment for Roma.
The outcomes of these negotiations will shape the transfer strategies of both clubs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
