Alejandro Garnacho (21) is expected to part ways with Manchester United (Man U) this summer but is reported to still want to stay in the Premier League.
European transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noted on his YouTube channel on the 11th (Korea time) that "Bayer Leverkusen has shown interest in Garnacho, but this transaction is virtually impossible," claiming that "I believe it will not be realized."
Argentina national team player Garnacho is a product of the Man U youth system. Garnacho has played for Man U for four seasons since his first-team debut in the 2021-2022 season, proving his potential with 26 goals and 22 assists in a total of 144 matches.
However, Garnacho is in a delicate position due to conflicts with the newly appointed coach Ruben Amorim. Garnacho, who is virtually facing expulsion, is likely to leave the team before the transfer market deadline on September 1.
Eric Ten Hag, the former Man U coach, has shown interest in Garnacho. Ten Hag, now the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, values Garnacho highly and wants to include him in his plans for the next season.
However, Romano believes that Bayer Leverkusen will fail to acquire Garnacho. He stated, "Bayer Leverkusen showed some interest in Garnacho about 2-3 weeks ago," adding, "Although Ten Hag values him highly, this transaction is virtually impossible."
He further stated, "Bayer Leverkusen believes Garnacho wants to remain in the Premier League," noting that "Garnacho is waiting for offers from Premier League clubs and wants to play in this league next season. Let's see what happens."
Garnacho is currently training at Man U. Like similar cases of Marcus Rashford (28) and Jadon Sancho (25), who are also expected to leave the team this summer, he remains at the Man U training ground.
According to ESPN, despite his conflict with Coach Amorim, Garnacho is expected to be allowed to access the first-team training ground until a transfer is finalized.
British 'TBR Football' reported, "It remains to be seen whether a Premier League team will set out to acquire Garnacho in the coming weeks," and if Garnacho transfers to a Premier League team and faces Man U, he may naturally dream of revenge.
