AC Milan are closely watching developments linked to Alejandro Garnacho’s Manchester United future, a report claims.
Milan are not currently in the market for a new starting left winger given the presence of Rafael Leao. However, noise is growing about a big offer coming from Bayern Munich for the Portuguese, so naturally the management must prepare back-up plans for if he goes.
Garnacho: Milan in the mix
According to CaughtOffside, Garnacho could be allowed to leave Manchester United before the start of next season and the starting asking price is €55m. It is Chelsea above all who remain interested in the winger, but they are also keen on Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens.

European giants are queuing up to sign Garnacho though, as the source claims he is still a target for Napoli after they ‘also strongly considered him back in January’. Milan, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen – now coached by his former manager Erik ten Hag – are in the hunt too.
At just 20 years of age there is definitely the potential for Garnacho to grow into something special, but United are being forced to consider offers because of the financial difficulties that will come from no European football in 2025-26, a bit like Milan with Tijjani Reijnders.
Garnacho played 58 times for United last season across all competitions, and he amassed 11 goals and 10 assists in a side that finished just outside the relegation zone and lost in the Europa League final to Spurs.
