Alejandro Garnacho looks set to leave Manchester United in the summer of 2025. This will be a sad ending for a player who was highly anticipated at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old winger lost the support of Ruben Amorim, who was said to have opposed his comments after the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.
Garnacho described Man United's season as a terrible one and lamented that he had to sit on the bench. According to the Daily Mail, Amorim responded by criticizing Garnacho at a press conference last weekend.
The Portuguese captain is said to have said: "It's better than Garnacho should pray that he can find a club that wants to sign him".
That statement almost confirmed that the Argentine's time at Old Trafford had ended. Garnacho is valued at around 60-70 million pounds by Man United. Although this is not a small number, there will still be teams that want to recruit him.
Napoli
After a £40 million offer was rejected in January, the reigning Serie A champions are now the leading candidate to sign Garnacho. Napoli need a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who joined PSG in the winter transfer window.
Therefore, Garnacho could be an important card for Antonio Conte. The brilliance of Scott McTominay was also a motivation for this deal to happen.
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna will meet Man United to reopen negotiations over Garnacho. Whether they can agree on the valuation remains to be seen.
Atletico Madrid
Returning to the club he was attached to for 5 years of his youth career seems to be a potential step for Garnacho. He left Madrid to pursue his dream in 2020.
A lot has changed since then and Diego Simeone is said to be very happy with Garnacho's potential. However, the Argentine does not seem to fit Simeone's preferred 4-4-2 formation.
Both Alexander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez have had a great season as a striker, scoring 20 and 17 goals respectively in La Liga. Therefore, Garnacho may have to drop a little further, a position Amorim often shows dissatisfaction with this player.
AC Milan
The 20-year-old could enjoy more attacking freedom at the San Siro. Both Inter Milan and AC Milan have been linked with Garnacho, but Rafael Leao's departure could give the Rossoneri the upper hand.
Leao has been linked with a number of clubs, including Man United. A swap deal could happen if Garnacho likes.
Milan was named one of the first teams to participate in Garnacho's recruitment negotiations, along with Napoli. However, not being able to participate in the European Cup next season has forced them to retreat.
Bayer Leverkusen
The appointment of Ten Hag by the BayArena team has raised suggestions for a Garnacho reunion in Germany. Leverkusen will certainly not lack money this summer.
Liverpool's activation of Jeremie Frimpong's £29.5 million release clause, as well as being set to complete a more than £100 million contract with Florian Wirtz, has given Ten Hag more money to spend in this transfer window.
Garnacho's profile could suit the German football environment. Most importantly, the 20-year-old has had good results under Ten Hag at Old Trafford. But perhaps this is a risky move for Leverkusen in the transition period after Xabi Alonso left.
Chelsea
One club that can afford to pay the money Man United want is Chelsea. There is no sign that Todd Boehly will stop shopping for players this summer.
Jadon Sancho's future is still uncertain. With Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto more suitable for the right midfielder position, Garnacho will have a place in the starting lineup.
