Alejandro Garnacho true value as new Manchester United transfer escape route emerges

Latest Manchester United transfer news and gossip with an update on Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford

Another club has reportedly joined the race to sign Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho’s future has been the subject of intense speculation over the last few weeks following United’s disappointing end to the season. Ruben Amorim’s side missed out on European qualification after their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in last month’s Europa League.

After the defeat in Bilbao, the Manchester Evening News reported that Garnacho had been informed that he is allowed to leave United this summer, provided the club receives a suitable offer. Napoli and Chelsea have previously been linked with a move for the Argentina international.

A fresh report from Spanish news outlet AS has claimed that Aston Villa have now joined the race to sign Garnacho. Bayer Leverkusen, who have former United boss Erik ten Hag as their new manager, have also expressed an interest in Garnacho, according to the report.

Garnacho’s market value has dramatically increased since he enjoyed his breakthrough season at United in 2022/23. Transfermarkt states that Garnacho’s value currently stands at €45million (£37.9million).

This is an increase from the start of the 2022/23 season, where Garnacho’s value was at €4million (£3.4million). However, Garnacho’s value did reach a high of €50million (£42million) last October before decreasing to it’s current figure back in March.

“Up until the final I played every round helping the team and today I play 20 minutes, I don’t know,” Garnacho said when asked about his future following the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

“The final will influence [my decision] but the whole season, the situation of the club.

“I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens afterwards.”
