Alejandro Garnacho could be on the move this summer as frustrations grow at Manchester United.
Manchester United’s frustrating campaign has epitomised by Alejandro Garnacho. Flashes of quality but without the consistency to make it worthwhile.
The 20-year-old has been marked as one of Man Utd’s saviours since emerging from the academy and the forward’s excellent technical ability is unquestionable. The 2024 FIFA Puskás Award winner’s future at Old Trafford is becoming increasingly uncertain.
Garnacho, who has managed 21 goal contributions this season. Was a surprise omission from Ruben Amorim’s starting lineup for Man Utd’s Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Only used as a substitute in the closing stages. The Argentine was quick to voice his frustrations in an explicit rant after the loss in Bilbao.
Napoli
“We made an important bid to Manchester United for Garnacho. We really wanted him,” admitted Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna in February. The Italians reportedly tabled an offer worth £40 million ($50.7 million) but couldn’t agree personal terms with the player. Their interest could revive in the summer transfer window.
Napoli, who are one victory away from winning Serie A, are still in the market for an heir to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s throne after his winter move to Paris Saint-Germain, with Garnacho an attractive long-term solution. He has an enormous ceiling despite his stuttering season.
Chelsea
Chelsea’s interest in Garnacho was also revealed during the winter transfer window, with the Blues continuing their hunt for high-potential สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที stars capable of making their youthful squad even younger. They contacted the player’s camp in January and could do so again as they pursue reinforcements in the wide areas to help the likes of Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto.
It’s not the first time Garnacho has come to blows with Amorim but it could be the last as speculation intensifies over a summer exit for the youngster. With the Red Devils eager to streamline their squad this summer, he could prove a useful source of funds.
