Manchester, June 10, 2025 – Manchester United have slapped a £70 million price tag on Alejandro Garnacho, confirming their openness to selling the 20‑year‑old winger amid a summer overhaul under manager Rúben Amorim .
Clubs from across Europe are keeping a close eye on the Argentina international. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Napoli, and Bayer Leverkusen are all reported to be monitoring the situation intensively .
🔍 Who’s in the race?
Aston Villa: Emerging as a surprise contender, with interest hinging on their own outgoing transfers . Chelsea: Long linked with Garnacho, though wage demands may pose a hurdle . Atlético Madrid: A putative “favoured landing spot”, continuing pursuit since January . Napoli: Champions of Serie A, previously in talks during January’s window; seen as frontrunners again . Bayer Leverkusen: Set to reunite Garnacho with former United manager Erik ten Hag and reportedly ready to pay around €60 million (~£52 million) .
🚨 Why the price tag?
United’s decision on the £70 million valuation comes as part of a strategic “squad rebuild”, with Garnacho among several key departures being considered to free funds and reshape the attack . Amorim has reportedly made it clear that the winger is no longer central to his plans .
Garnacho himself added fuel to the fire after the Europa League final, describing United’s season as “s***” and hinting at summer uncertainty .
đź’· Market dynamics
While some outlets mention lower figures—£50 million or even £40 million—TeamTalk sources emphasise the club’s firm stance on a premium fee, potentially bridged by add-ons if Barcelona’s valuation isn’t met .
Napoli and Leverkusen appear willing to approach the £52 million (€60 million) realm, but with United reportedly waiting for structured offers, the final deal is still likely to remain closer to their £70 million ask .
🧠Verdict
Garnacho’s future is shaping up to be one of the most closely-watched sagas of this summer’s transfer window. With United valuing him highly and multiple proven contenders waiting, a high-stakes negotiation seems inevitable.
