Manchester United Ready to Part Ways with Alejandro Garnacho After Failed £281m Bid
Manchester United are prepared to offload Alejandro Garnacho as the squad returns for pre-season training, with the winger’s future looking increasingly uncertain following tensions with the club.
Garnacho’s Friction with United
Despite being a key player last season, Garnacho’s frustrations boiled over after being benched in the Europa League final and subsequent Premier League matches. His public discontent has led United to consider selling him to fund new signings, including Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and a new striker.
Transfer Stalemate Over Valuation
Chelsea and Napoli have shown interest, but neither club has met United’s initial £60m-£70m asking price. Reports suggest the Red Devils may accept around £45m, with intermediaries now working to facilitate a deal. Chelsea appear the most likely destination at this stage.
Newcastle Emerge as Potential Suitors
With Newcastle United missing out on targets like Mbeumo and Anthony Elanga, Garnacho could be a viable alternative. The Magpies, back in the Champions League, are eager to bolster their attack and may see the 21-year-old’s Premier League experience and potential as a smart investment.
Pre-Season Decision Looms
As Garnacho reports to Carrington next week alongside teammates like Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford, United will push for a resolution. His departure would free up funds and squad space as the club looks to rebuild under Ruben Amorim.
