Manchester United have reportedly named their price to allow Alejandro Garnacho to leave the club this summer.
Garnacho's future has been the subject of intense speculation over the last few months, having been the subject of interest to rival clubs during the January transfer window.
United have been active in the transfer market already this summer, with the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolves their first signing of the window. In terms of players heading in the other direction, though, Garnacho is one player who has been linked with an Old Trafford exit this summer.
The Manchester Evening News reported last month that Garnacho could be sold by United, provided a suitable offer was to arrive. Since then, the Argentina international has been a regular name mentioned on the rumour mill over the last few weeks.
The Independent have now reported that United have named their price to allow Garnacho to leave the club this summer. It has been claimed that United are seeking a fee worth £70million for the forward.
The report claims that Garnacho is wanted by Premier League duo Aston Villa and Chelsea, while Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid have also expressed an interest in signing the United star this summer.
United's summer transfer plans will have been influenced by their failure to qualify for the Champions League for next season. The defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in last month's Europa League final means United will not have any European football next term.
"Up until the final I played every round helping the team and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know," Garnacho told reporters when asked about his future following the defeat to Spurs in Bilbao.
"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."
