Barcelona and Juventus have been seeking to sign Manchester United’s 20-year-old Argentine sensation Alejandro Garnacho next year. According to The Sun, both clubs are interested in signing Garnacho, who is not yet a guaranteed starter for the Premier League club. Manchester United has valued the brilliant winger at approximately £50 million. Since joining United’s first squad, the Argentine forward has swiftly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising young players. Garnacho was born in Madrid and spent much of his childhood in Spain before joining Manchester United’s youth system. Eligible to represent both Spain and Argentina internationally, he eventually selected Argentina and has already become a crucial role for the Red Devils over the last two seasons.
Garnacho has had an explosive start to the 2024/25 season, scoring four goals and assisting three times in ten games across all competitions. Despite his impressive performances, Barcelona and Juventus are apparently looking at ways to take advantage of the fact that Garnacho is not yet United’s automatic first-choice forward. Barcelona’s interest is spurred by Ferran Torres’ likely exit next year, as the club looks for a long-term replacement. Garnacho has surfaced as a prospective possibility, alongside others such as Roony Bardghji. Due to persistent financial restrictions, Barcelona and Juventus may find it difficult to fulfill Manchester United’s £50 million asking price.
While the £50 million valuation appears acceptable given Garnacho’s contract, age, and potential, it remains to be seen whether either of the European powerhouses will be willing to spend the money to capture his services next season.
