Manchester, June 10, 2025 — In a sensational bid that's causing shockwaves in the transfer market, Manchester United have placed a £70 million asking price on breakout star Alejandro Garnacho, according to Sky Sports.
Who is Alejandro Garnacho?
Garnacho, only 20 years old, has had a meteoric rise up the ranks at Old Trafford. His speed, tempo, and technical skill have already made him a Premier League phenomenon. In the 2024–25 season, he netted 12 goals and 7 assists, keeping United in contention in domestic and European football.

Why the £70m Tag?
This price tag isn't just about hype. Here's why United believe Garnacho is worth every penny:
- Upper-level potential – Already being compared to club legends like Ryan Giggs.
- Market inflation – As transfer fees rise, even the young ones command high prices.
- Strategic planning – United can spend cash to sign important signings this summer.
Clubs Waiting in Line for Garnacho
Interest in Garnacho goes as far as Premier League and European giants:
- Aston Villa and Chelsea have made enquires on availability (source).
- Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, and Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs closely.
Could He Be Replaced?
If Garnacho leaves, United can look to other options in the forward line:
- Viktor Gyökeres – Sporting CP star striker
- Bryan Mbeumo – An adaptable winger who has been linked with United
What's at Stake?
- Squad balance – Cutting Garnacho could free up money to sign important reinforcement in defence and midfield.
- Club identity – Garnacho is a product of their "develop-from-within" doctrine. Selling him could be seen as abandoning their philosophy.
- Fan sentiment – United supporters may not lie down on this one. Social media forums like RedCafe.net are full of row over the transfer.
Final Word
Manchester United's £70m price tag on Alejandro Garnacho isn't just hyped — it's a possible philosophical change at Old Trafford. With clubs waiting in line and negotiations possibly around the corner, fans and commentators are on tenterhooks.
