Ruben Amorim and Manchester United’s decision-makers are reportedly ready to sanction the departure of Alejandro Garnacho in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Alejandro Garnacho faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford heading into the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim and Manchester United were ready to keep Argentine international for the long haul. However, they are willing to sanction his departure from Old Trafford in the coming months.
Alejandro Garnacho and his rollercoaster ride at Manchester United
Alejandro Garnacho has been among the best young players in the Premier League since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United. The Madrid native has chosen to represent Argentina in international football. Meanwhile, the youngster has been with Manchester United since October 2020 and made his senior bow only two years after that.
The 20-year-old attacking sensation might not have been as consistent as he would have linked for Manchester United, but he has made his mark for the senior side. The highly-rated attacker has managed a decent tally of nine goals and eight assists in 45 appearances across all competitions thus far this term.
However, the Argentine international faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford heading into the summer transfer window. The winter window produced links with several European bigwigs, with Napoli and Chelsea mulling over securing his services. While those moves did not see the light of day, the interest from the clubs remains.
What next?
Recent reports have suggested a move to La Liga might be on the cards in the summer transfer window, with Atletico Madrid keen on signing Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. Los Rojiblancos might have a decent chance to land the young attacker, with the Red Devils mulling over a summer departure.
Ruben Amorim initially wanted to keep Garnacho at Old Trafford for the long haul. However, a U-turn might be on the cards, with the report claiming Manchester United are ready to sanction the youngster’s departure for the right price, which might be around £70 million.
Manchester United’s stance is surprising, considering the offensive unit needs considerable investment in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the 20-year-old Argentine international will cost a bomb, and it will be interesting to see if any suitor will cough up £70 million to secure his services.
