Garnacho’s Price Tag Drops as Manchester United Prepares for Sale
Argentine winger no longer part of club’s plans amid transfer interest from Napoli
Manchester United has reset the asking price for Alejandro Garnacho, as the Argentine winger remains outside the club’s plans for the upcoming season. Initially valued at €71 million, the Premier League side has now been forced to reconsider amid a lack of concrete offers.
Clubs reject original €71 million asking price
Despite interest from several top European clubs, no team has been willing to meet United’s initial valuation. According to The Telegraph, the Red Devils had aimed to offload Garnacho for approximately €71 million (£60 million), but faced resistance from potential buyers.
In recent days, interested clubs have reassessed the player’s market value, citing his limited role and recent dip in form. They are now prepared to enter negotiations at a reduced value of around €47 million (£40 million).
Napoli among the top suitors
One of the leading contenders for Garnacho’s signature is Napoli, though the Italian club reportedly backed out of negotiations after their offer was turned down. Sources suggest the Serie A side remains interested, but only if the price tag drops further.
Meanwhile, Garnacho has been training separately from the main squad, reinforcing Manchester United’s clear stance that the 20-year-old winger is no longer in their sporting plans. His representatives have been informed of the situation and are actively seeking alternatives.
Market uncertainty clouds player’s future
As of mid-July, Garnacho’s future remains undecided. While his talent is still recognized across Europe, clubs are cautious due to his recent stagnation and United’s high financial demands. Unless Manchester United agrees to lower its expectations further, a deal may remain out of reach.
The coming weeks of the transfer window are expected to be decisive in determining whether Garnacho finds a new club or spends another season on the sidelines.
