GARNACHO UPDATE: Atletico Madrid & Bayer Leverkusen preparing £70m offers for Man Utd winger

April 18, 2025

ATLETICO MADRID & BAYER LEVERKUSEN SET FOR SHOWDOWN OVER ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – MAN UTD DEMAND £70M FOR WINGER

🔥 Rising Star in Demand

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has become the subject of intense transfer interest from Atlético Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, with both clubs ready to test United’s resolve with summer bids. The Red Devils have reportedly set a £70 million price tag on the 19-year-old sensation.

🇦🇷 Why Garnacho is a Hot Commodity

The Argentine winger has been one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise inconsistent season at Old Trafford.

His fearless attacking style, pace, and ability to deliver in big moments (like his stunning goals against Everton and Liverpool) have caught the eye across Europe.

Still only 19, Garnacho is seen as a future superstar – and both Atleti and Leverkusen believe they can unlock his full potential.

🔴 Atlético Madrid’s Advantage

Garnacho was born in Madrid and came through Atlético’s academy before moving to United in 2020.

A return to his boyhood club could be emotionally appealing, especially if Diego Simeone promises a leading role in their attack.

With Antoine Griezmann not getting any younger, Atleti see Garnacho as the next face of their frontline.

🟡 Leverkusen’s Ambitious Plan

Bundesliga champions-elect Bayer Leverkusen are building something special under Xabi Alonso.

With European football (and likely Champions League) secured, Leverkusen want Garnacho as part of their next evolution.

The club believes Alonso’s development model could turn Garnacho into a world-beater – similar to how they’ve elevated Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.

💸 Man Utd’s Stance

United are not desperate to sell and value Garnacho highly as part of their long-term future.

However, with FFP concerns and potential squad restructuring under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS regime, a mega offer north of £70 million could force the club to consider a deal.
