Chelsea & three other clubs on alert as Man Utd lower asking price for Garnacho

Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho has no shortage of suitors as he heads towards the exit door at Carrington.

The Argentinian rose to prominence as a mere teenager during Erik ten Hag’s time at the club, but he hasn’t been able to build a solid rapport with the Dutchman’s successor, Ruben Amorim.

The two men have been at odds on several occasions, and the situation reached a head in the Europa League final when the Portuguese manager decided to drop the winger from his starting lineup and keep him on the bench for the majority of the second period despite trailing in the result.

Therefore, some of the most renowned sources in football journalism, including Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein, revealed that Garnacho is on his way out of the club, with the manager bluntly telling him he has no place in his plans.

According to BolaVIP, United have significantly lowered their asking price to £38 million, making Garnacho affordable for many clubs around Europe.

The Red Devils were seeking a figure close to £65 million in January when Napoli came knocking on the door. This figure scared away the Italian champions who were searching the market for Khvicha Kvaratkhelia’s replacement.

With Napoli yet to properly replace the Paris Saint-Germain star, a new onslaught is expected, and this time, the stars could be lining up for Garnacho to play his football at the Stadio Maradona.

Nevertheless, the Azzurri isn’t the only Serie A club interested in the 20-year-old, as the source names Juventus as another interested party.

Antonio Conte, who was disappointed with Napoli’s inability to sign Garnacho, is now widely expected to return to Turin, which could make the Man United wantaway an object of desire for the Bianconeri.

In addition to the Italian duo, the report also mentions Chelsea’s long-standing interest in Garnarcho. The player’s agent already has connections at Stamford Bridge.

Finally, Ten Hag’s appointment at Bayer Leverkusen could open a door for the Argentina international in the Bundesliga, albeit the German’s interest remains speculative at this point.

  1. Why reduce the price of one of your best players other clubs dont reduce prices for Man Utd in fact if they can the price goes up. Radcliffe must be so desperate for money even the club cat might have a price tag on it.

    1. I can’t believe it, the moment our name is mentioned in connection with a player any player his price is hiked up. Here we are with one of the most exciting young player and we drop his price. How can we replace him with what we’re asking for him? I’d rather him spend a year on the bench than sell him for chump change.

  2. A nonsensical idea if you’re worried about PSR and have a player who can be sold at a pure profit you don’t reduce the price or we’re getting into the bad old WOODWARD days as the club used to do that when he was CEO and it won’t even offset the Cunha transfer fee

  3. Maybe it’s skullduggery. Is someone other club waiting in the wings but can’t afford him? Spread gossip about a lower price then try and use it as ‘justification’ for a low-ball offer while other clubs lower their offers (because they think that’s the new price)?
