Alejandro Garnacho burst onto the scene at Manchester United in spectacular style, with fans thinking they’d hit the jackpot.
Garnacho dominated the youth set up before making his first team debut under Erik ten Hag, striking fear into opposition full backs with his direct dribbling
But fast forward to 2025, and his United career appears to be hanging by a thread.
Despite his raw talent, Garnacho has never truly fit Ruben Amorim’s system.
He thrives as a classic touchline winger – hugging the sideline, isolating defenders – yet Amorim’s shape demands players comfortable operating in central pockets.
That mismatch was already causing problems, but things hit a boiling point after the Europa League final.
Furious at being left out of the starting XI, Garnacho voiced his frustrations to the Argentine media.
Leading Amorim to tell him, in front of the entire squad, that he should find a new club.
Now, with United needing funds for a major summer rebuild and recent signing Matheus Cunha set to play in Garnacho’s role as the left-sided No.10, the writing is on the wall.
Add in the fact that Garnacho represents pure profit under PSR rules.
His sale becomes not just a footballing decision – but a financial necessity.
The only question that remains: who takes the gamble on a player with undeniable talent but growing baggage?

Bayer Leverkusen
With Xabi Alonso departing, Bayer Leverkusen have appointed Erik ten Hag as their new head coach – a move that could reopen the door for Garnacho.
Unlike Alonso, ten Hag is expected to shift away from the 3-4-2-1 system with wing-backs and instead revert to a setup that features traditional wingers.
Something that suits Garnacho perfectly.
The Dutchman is also a known admirer of the Argentine, having handed him his senior debut at Manchester United and regularly backing him during his early rise.
Leverkusen are also set for a major cash injection, with Florian Wirtz joining Liverpool in a deal worth over £100 million.
That windfall could be used to replace Wirtz’s goals and creativity, and Garnacho would certainly fit the bill in terms of profile and potential.
However, Leverkusen tend to operate smartly in the market, and United’s current valuation may still be too steep for them to consider a move – unless the price drops.

Napoli
For months, Napoli looked like the front-runners to sign Alejandro Garnacho.
Antonio Conte is a long-term admirer of the Argentine winger and had been pushing hard to bring him to Naples.
Back in the winter window, Napoli were urgently searching for a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who had just joined PSG in a £60 million move.
Conte identified Garnacho as the ideal successor – someone with a similar profile: explosive, fearless, and direct.
Napoli made their move, submitting an opening bid of £40 million, which was quickly rejected by Manchester United.
Talks continued, with United eventually lowering their asking price from £70 million to £60 million.
Terms were even agreed with the player, but the two clubs couldn’t finalise a fee, and the deal collapsed.
Still, Napoli’s interest lingered.
That is, until recently.
Fresh reports from Italy suggest Conte’s side have officially pulled out of the race.
Although that may well be a negotiation tactic as the club looks to drive the price down further.

AC Milan
Reports in Italy suggest AC Milan are ready to rival Napoli for the signing of Alejandro Garnacho.
They are closely monitoring his situation, especially with star winger Rafael Leao potentially on the move this summer.
Garnacho’s direct style and flair would offer a natural replacement on the left flank.
Milan may see him as a long-term investment.
While they haven’t made a formal bid yet, their interest is serious – and if Leao departs, expect Milan to step up their pursuit.
Like Napoli, though, a deal would likely depend on United lowering their £60 million asking price.

Chelsea
Chelsea have reopened their search for a left winger after sending Jadon Sancho back to Manchester United, triggering a £5 million clause to cancel their obligation to buy.
That’s led to interest in Alejandro Garnacho, who is keen to stay in England if he does leave Old Trafford.
On paper, it makes sense – Chelsea need a dynamic wide player, and Garnacho fits the bill.
But in reality, this one is difficult to imagine.
United are unlikely to sell one of their most valuable young assets to a direct Premier League rival without a significant premium, making a deal hard to strike.
