Real Madrid president Florentino Perez might look to use the upcoming trip to Manchester to potentially speak with Alejandro Garnacho.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Real Madrid Exclusivo, Alejandro Garnacho is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. Florentino Perez is driving the move for the 19-year-old Manchester United prodigy. And the Real Madrid president wants to use the upcoming trip to Manchester for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals to talk to the young attacker.
The Rise of Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League in the last 12 months. An acquisition from Atletico Madrid, the Argentine international has come leaps and bounds since joining Manchester United nearly four years ago in October 2020.
The Madrid native made his first-team debut as a 17-year-old in April 2022 and has not looked back in the last couple of years. He has enjoyed a decent 2023/24 campaign, contributing to 11 goals in 38 appearances thus far. Garnacho has found the back of the net seven times while providing four assists.
The youngster’s progress at Manchester United has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Widespread reports have linked him with Real Madrid, with Los Blancos closely monitoring his progress in the last 12 months.
Real Madrid Want Garnacho
Real Madrid’s interest in Alejandro Garnacho is somewhat perplexing. While the 19-year-old Manchester United wonderkid has excelled on the right flank, he is primarily a left-winger. So, with Vinicius Junior being the first-choice option for the position whenever the Merengues utilise it, Garnacho might find it difficult to become a regular for Real Madrid.
Nevertheless, the Argentine international is seemingly a target for Real Madrid, with Florentino Perez driving the move. And the Real Madrid president wants to take advantage of the upcoming trip to Manchester City for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with Manchester City next month.
Erling Haaland is also on Real Madrid’s radar, and Perez wants to hold talks with the Norwegian striker. The same goes for Garnacho, with these discussions likely being informal. It will be interesting to see how this story progresses in the coming weeks.
