The future of Alejandro Garnacho strongly points to LaLiga. In England, some media outlets claim that Manchester United could soon receive an offer for the Argentine from a Spanish giant.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Real Madrid are mentioned as possible destinations for Alejandro Garnacho in 2025. The 20-year-old winger, recent winner of the Puskás Award at the FIFA The Best 2024 gala, is uncertain about his future at Manchester United, where the arrival of Rubén Amorim could relegate him to a secondary role in the second half of the 2024/25 season.

According to the English portal 'Caught Offside', the Argentine player would be very interested in signing with one of the big clubs in LaLiga. Initially, the 'red devils' would only let him go for a figure close to 65-70 million euros, a somewhat high amount, but not impossible for the plans of a Barça that, looking ahead to next summer, anticipates a 'top' signing, with the left winger being the priority in attack.

The relationship between Garnacho and Amorim, key for the Argentine's future

Although Garnacho has a contract until 2028 and the United management considers him a long-term reference, Rubén Amorim is not so clear about the starring role of the Madrid-born player. The Portuguese coach left him out of the squad for the Manchester derby, a decision that fueled rumors about the exit of the Argentine international, who also started from the bench on Wednesday against Tottenham.

"He has trained very well. He seems a bit upset with me and that’s perfectly fine. I was very happy because I would do the same and he is ready for this game", the coach said ironically after the defeat against the 'Spurs' referring to Alejandro. The winger has scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists in 25 matches (1,472 minutes) this season, being the second top scorer of the team in the Premier League with 3 goals, only surpassed by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford (4).
