There’s quite a buzz going around about Alejandro Garnacho these days. It seems like the young winger at Manchester United is drawing more attention than usual—and not necessarily for reasons that make the club happy. From what I’ve gathered, at least three Premier League clubs are eyeing him closely this summer. It’s the kind of situation that can really shake up the transfer market, you know?
Manchester United, it seems, are ready to part ways with Garnacho. I’ve read that Ruben Amorim—he’s the manager of Sporting Lisbon, if you’re wondering—has apparently told the player to look elsewhere. That’s a pretty clear message, right? Not the kind of thing a club says lightly. But what’s truly intriguing is the story behind all this.

A Season Full of Drama
Garnacho’s season didn’t exactly end on a high note. Actually, it ended on a bit of a sour one. After United lost the Europa League final against Tottenham, Garnacho was dropped by Amorim. Now, that alone might not cause a stir, but the reports say Garnacho wasn’t happy about it—fuming, really. And that tension seemed to spill over because he was left out of the squad for the last Premier League game as well. It’s one of those moments where you wonder what’s brewing behind closed doors.
What I find interesting is the mix of emotions here. On the one hand, a young player wants his chance. On the other, management makes harsh decisions. It’s messy and might just get messier.
Then there’s Erik ten Hag. He’s recently been appointed as the manager at Bayer Leverkusen—quite a leap from managing Manchester United. It turns out ten Hag likes Garnacho and might want to bring him along. That connection adds another twist. But, and here’s a big but, the money side of things could block any deal. Garnacho’s wages and the fee United want might be too much for some clubs to swallow, especially one outside England.
Staying in the Premier League? It’s Likely
Despite all this, it looks like Garnacho won’t be heading abroad just yet. Reports from the UK, specifically Metro, say three Premier League teams are interested in snapping him up. Chelsea is apparently one of those clubs—they tried to sign him back in January and are hunting for attacking players as the transfer window heats up.

Personally, I think it says something about his potential that multiple clubs want him, even with the off-field drama. But then again, perhaps it’s also a bit risky for those clubs. Is the player worth the trouble? Will he fit into a new squad without causing more friction? Questions like these might linger.
Honestly, I’d expect the summer to be quite a rollercoaster for Garnacho. Transfers are rarely straightforward, and when personal conflicts get involved, it just spices things up—even if it gets a bit uncomfortable. Whatever happens, it’ll be fascinating to watch which club manages to land him and how he bounces back from this rocky patch.
