Manchester United will seemingly not be short of suitors for Alejandro Garnacho if they decide to cash in on the winger after it was claimed that a top LaLiga side had expressed an interest in signing the star and with Ruben Amorim having already decided on a €58m replacement.
The Red Devils are still on a high after Sunday’s last-gasp come-from-behind victory at Manchester City, where they trailed until the 88th minute after Josko Gvardiol’s headed opener. But with Bruno Fernandes tucking home a late spot-kick, before Amad Diallo stole every Manchester United supporter’s hearts with a 90th-minute winner, Amorim was able to celebrate his best win so far as manager.
The win, though, did not come without sacrifice and the build-up – and subsequent celebrations since – have been somewhat tarnished by the exclusion from the matchday squad of both Marcus Rashford and Garnacho, both of whom have since had their futures at the club thrown into some doubt.
While much of the focus has centred around Rashford, little has been said about Garnacho, who until recently had been very much considered an untouchable star at Old Trafford and one in which their team would be built around.
But in the wake of Sunday’s omission, a new report in Spain has claimed that his axing has given Atletico Madrid renewed belief that a transfer is there to be done and that Diego Simeone’s side ‘dream’ of landing 20-year-old, with the wily old Argentinian coach ‘wanting to sign’ the winger ‘in the winter transfer window’.
And according to the report in Fichajes, Amorim is ‘willing to facilitate the player’s departure’ which ‘opens the door’ to a move to the Wanda Metropolitano.
They state Garnacho is seen as a player who ‘would fit perfectly into a hypothetical attacking trident alongside Giuliano Simeone and Julian Alvarez’ and with Amorim apparently ‘determined to get rid of players who do not fit into his system’.
