ATLETICO MADRID AND BAYER LEVERKUSEN SET FOR TRANSFER SHOWDOWN OVER MAN UTD'S ALEJANDRO GARNACHO AS RED DEVILS SLAP £70M PRICE TAG
Manchester United could face a major decision this summer as Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen have emerged as serious contenders for Alejandro Garnacho, with the Red Devils reportedly slapping a £70 million price tag on the electric winger.
🇦🇷 Garnacho’s Rise
The 19-year-old has become one of United’s brightest sparks this season, with standout moments in both the Premier League and FA Cup. His blend of raw pace, confidence, and flair has made him a fan favorite — and attracted Europe’s elite.
💰 The Situation
United’s financial situation means big offers for non-core players may be considered, especially with INEOS overseeing a new transfer strategy focused on sustainability and squad efficiency. While United ideally want to keep Garnacho, a mega-money bid could force their hand.
🇪🇸 Atletico Madrid’s Interest
Garnacho came through Atleti’s youth ranks before moving to Old Trafford in 2020. Diego Simeone is reportedly keen on a reunion, viewing the winger as a dynamic wide option to add creativity and goals to his side.
🇩🇪 Leverkusen’s Ambition
Xabi Alonso’s side, fresh off a historic Bundesliga-winning campaign, are planning for Champions League football. Garnacho would fit perfectly into their high-intensity, attacking setup and could be seen as a direct replacement for Moussa Diaby, who left in 2023.
🧩 What United Want
The Red Devils would reportedly only consider selling Garnacho if their £70m valuation is met — and even then, only if they have a suitable replacement lined up. Garnacho is under a long-term contract, meaning United are under no pressure to sell.
📝 What’s Next?
Talks haven’t begun formally, but both Atletico and Leverkusen are expected to make approaches soon. United’s stance may depend on summer departures, Champions League qualification, and how INEOS balance the books.
