Alejandro Garnacho’s time at Manchester United could be drawing to a close, with the Argentine winger expected to leave the club this summer if a suitable proposal arrives for both parties.
This news follows reports from Thursday indicating a growing likelihood of his departure.
Manchester United are reportedly open to selling certain players to finance new signings as part of their ongoing squad overhaul, and Garnacho is understood to be among those who could be moved on.
This strategic decision comes amidst a season that has seen some frustration for the 20-year-old, particularly after being benched for the Europa League final.
Post-match comments from Garnacho himself, and his brother, hinted at discontent regarding his role and the team’s overall performance.
Interest in Garnacho is not new; he attracted attention in the January transfer window from clubs like Chelsea and Napoli.
Now, the race for his signature is open again, with the winger’s situation being closely monitored by several top clubs.
Garnacho’s sale, as an academy graduate, would represent pure profit on United’s balance sheet, which could be crucial for compliance with financial regulations and funding their transfer plans for the upcoming season.
While he is tied to United until 2028, the club appears willing to consider offers, with reports suggesting a price tag in the region of £60-70 million.
His departure could pave the way for new arrivals as manager Ruben Amorim looks to shape his squad.
