AC Milan will reportedly compete with Chelsea and other high-profile clubs to sign 20-year-old Argentine attacker Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United this summer.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Alejandro Garnacho is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Rafael Leao’s long-term future. So, the Manchester United whizkid has emerged as a target for the Rossoneri.
Meanwhile, the Madrid-born wide attacker is a target for several high-profile clubs, with Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen also vying for his signature. Meanwhile, Manchester United will demand around €55 million to part ways with Garnacho in the summer transfer window.
Alejandro Garnacho and his career so far
Alejandro Garnacho has come leaps and bounds since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United a few years ago. However, while the 20-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance, he has not been consistent enough. In addition, the youngster’s attitude issues have frustrated fans and Ruben Amorim.
Garnacho’s recent comments after the UEFA Europa League final have burnt bridges with Amorim, with the Portuguese tactician telling the player he has no future at Manchester United. The Argentine international has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with AC Milan and Chelsea vying for his services in the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
Alejandro Garnacho has been on Chelsea’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, considering they want a long-term replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has returned to Manchester United this week. In addition, Noni Madueke faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. So, Garnacho is a viable target for Chelsea.
As for AC Milan, Rafael Leao’s long-term future at San Siro is uncertain amid his links with Bayern Munich and Manchester United. So, the Serie A giants must scour the market for a long-term for the Portuguese international, with Garnacho being an option worth considering. Meanwhile, the Madrid-born winger will not cost a bomb, with Manchester United demanding €55 million to part ways with him.
Chelsea and AC Milan should have no qualms about coughing up €55 million to sign Garnacho from Manchester United. However, the 20-year-old Argentine international is also a target for other European bigwigs, including Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid.
