Roma have initiated negotiations with Chelsea’s ownership group, BlueCo, regarding a potential double transfer for Alejandro Garnacho and Diego Moreira, according to TEAMtalk. This move comes after the Serie A club missed out on securing Marseille’s Mason Greenwood, who is reportedly nearing a move to Fenerbahce.
The Giallorossi are actively reshaping their squad in preparation for their return to Champions League competition and have identified the two Chelsea players as potential additions. Roma’s pursuit of Garnacho gained momentum following the unsuccessful attempt to sign Greenwood, with sources confirming the Italian club made a serious offer for the former Manchester United forward.
TEAMtalk reported last week that Chelsea were open to Garnacho’s departure for a package valued around £60 million, and Roma are now attempting to structure a deal that satisfies all parties. The club’s preferred option is an initial loan with an obligation to buy contingent on performance-related clauses, though Chelsea are believed to favour a permanent transfer upfront. Garnacho, 22, struggled to establish himself in his first season at Stamford Bridge after joining from Manchester United, and head coach Xabi Alonso has reportedly approved his potential exit.
Alongside Garnacho, Roma are also in talks with BlueCo regarding Diego Moreira. The Belgian international has been made available for transfer after Chelsea and Alonso determined he does not feature in their first-team plans. Moreira previously joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 before a loan spell at Lyon, and subsequently transferred to Strasbourg within the BlueCo network, where he has impressed in Ligue 1. Roma are simultaneously working on outgoing transfers, aiming to sell Matias Soule to Sunderland to create financial and squad space for potential arrivals, and are also considering offers for midfielder Manu Kone, who has attracted interest from Manchester United.
The potential arrival of Garnacho and Moreira would bolster Roma’s attacking options ahead of a demanding season, while also allowing Chelsea to streamline their squad and potentially recoup funds. These moves demonstrate BlueCo’s willingness to leverage their multi-club network to facilitate player transfers and achieve strategic objectives across their portfolio.
