Garnacho Targeted by Three European Giants

The 20‑year‑old Argentine winger helped United reach the Europa League semi‑finals

Manchester United’s €70 million price tag—nearly double his €45 million market value

Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen are all circling 20‑year‑old Alejandro Garnacho

Manchester United’s emerging star Alejandro Garnacho has attracted interest from across the continent as speculation mounts over a potential €70 millions move this summer.

Three Top Clubs in Pursuit

Despite a contract at Old Trafford running until 2028, Garnacho finds himself on the radar of Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Team Talk, all three are monitoring his progress closely. However, United have set a hefty €70 million price tag—an amount that will test the resolve of any bidder.

Atletico Madrid are known for their shrewd transfers and could offer Garnacho Champions League football immediately.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are seeking fresh attacking talent to rejuvenate their squad under new management. Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga’s rising force, would also provide an attractive project for the young forward.

Valuation and Transfer Speculation

Transfermarkt currently values Garnacho at €45 million, reflecting his rapid development since breaking into the United first team. Yet United’s management clearly believe his potential merits a higher fee.

If a club is prepared to meet the €70 million valuation, it would represent one of the club’s most significant sales—and a major investment for the buying side.

Moreover, with only three years left on his deal, United may feel pressure to negotiate now rather than risk losing him for less later.

Conversely, Garnacho’s emergence as a fan favourite could persuade the club to reward him with an improved contract.

Garnacho’s Rise at United

Since joining United’s academy, Garnacho has rapidly climbed the ranks. Across 136 appearances, he has scored 25 goals and become a regular contributor in both domestic and European competitions.

His pace, direct dribbling, and composure in front of goal have drawn praise from teammates and pundits alike.

In addition to his club exploits, Garnacho was part of Argentina’s Copa América‑winning squad in 2024, further underscoring his quality on the international stage.

What Lies Ahead for the Argentine Star?

As United prepare for their Europa League semi‑final clash, all eyes will remain on Garnacho’s performances.

Will he stay at Old Trafford to spearhead United’s return to the Champions League? Or will one of Europe’s giants meet the €70 million asking price and entice him away?

For now, the speculation rages on. Yet one thing is certain: Alejandro Garnacho’s next move will be one of the most closely watched transfers this summer.
