Garnacho is tired of Ruben Amorim and imposes a single condition to sign with Manchester United’s rival
Alejandro Garnacho appears to be nearing the exit at Manchester United, as tensions with manager Rúben Amorim continue to mount. According to a report from GOAL, the 20-year-old Argentine winger has informed his representatives that he will only agree to join a Premier League club qualified for the UEFA Champions League.
Friction with Amorim Sparks Exit
Garnacho’s deteriorating relationship with Amorim sparked by disagreements over playing time and public remarks has reached a breaking point. Sources say the player was deeply frustrated after being benched for the Europa League final, and Amorim later suggested publicly that Garnacho “should look for another club” if unhappy with the manager’s decisions.
Only Six Teams Meet His Condition
Garnacho’s desire to stay in England while playing in the Champions League narrows his potential destinations to just six clubs:
- Manchester City
- Arsenal
- Liverpool
- Chelsea
- Tottenham Hotspur
- Newcastle United
Of these, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle have reportedly shown early interest in the player and made contact with his agents.
Transfer Fee in Flux
Manchester United had initially placed a £70 million (€82 million) price tag on Garnacho, but insiders believe a bid in the region of £40 million (€47 million) could be enough to seal the deal. United are under pressure to offload players as part of a broader rebuild under Amorim, who is reshaping the squad to match his tactical vision.
Barcelona and Atlético Madrid Also Approached
Though Barcelona and Atlético Madrid had previously inquired about Garnacho’s availability, the forward has prioritized staying in the Premier League, partly to prove himself after the rift with Amorim. A move to a direct rival would send a clear message to Manchester United and offer Garnacho the stage he seeks.
