Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen to link up with former manager Erik ten Hag, but Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed he wants to stay in the Premier League.
Garnacho's future at Old Trafford looks uncertain, with a departure in the summer transfer window now looking likely. The Argentine winger has been linked with a host of different clubs, including Aston Villa and Chelsea, while recent reports suggested that Leverkusen could be in the race.
A telling moment in Garnacho's future was ahead of the Europa League final, when the former Atletico Madrid man was left out of the starting XI against Tottenham Hotspur. Garnacho was limited to substitute performances in the few games prior, and it appears he might not be in Ruben Amorim's plans for next season.

Reporting on X, respected journalist Romano has confirmed that a deal for Garnacho would be complicated for Leverkusen, despite their interest in the player. A move to the Premier League is Garnacho's first choice, amid reports that the likes of Chelsea and Aston Villa are keen.
"Alejandro Garnacho’s priority is to stay in Premier League while he’s set to leave Man United this summer. Despite Bayer Leverkusen interest and Ten Hag’s appreciation, the deal looks complicated and Premier League is the player’s first choice."

GIVEMESPORT sources recently confirmed that United could be forced to sell Garnacho at a £20m discount. The Red Devils are struggling to find suitors willing to pay his asking price, after hoping to pocket around £70m to allow him to depart in the summer transfer window.
United could still potentially receive a strong fee for Garnacho, and it will be a huge positive for the books after he only joined for a small figure when arriving at the academy as a teenager.
