Bayern Munich have made an initial enquiry over Alejandro Garnacho amidst their ongoing search for a new winger.
ESPN have today revealed that the Bundesliga giants have begun sizing up a move for the Manchester United outcast, asking ‘what it would take’ to hash out a deal this summer.
Their interest comes in the aftermath of losing Jamal Musiala to a lengthy injury setback and sanctioning Leroy Sane’s switch to Galatasaray.
ESPN: ‘It’s possible’ Garnacho ends up at Bayern
From Garnacho’s point of view, he is aiming to move within the Premier League, but could reconsider his stance if no formal offers are made.
Additionally, the prospect of joining a European goliath such as Bayern, where he’ll be in contention to win silverware on all fronts next season, may prove too lucrative to turn down if they materialise their interest.
Aston Villa, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are among Garnacho’s English suitors, with only the two London clubs providing him the opportunity to play in the Champions League throughout 2025/2026. Villa secured qualification for the Europa League via a sixth-placed finish – just days after the forward featured in the competition’s final: a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Why Garnacho would be a worthy coup for any club
It’s no surprise to see him becoming something of a man in demand since he was made available by United.
At only 21 years old, Garnacho boasts 144 first-team appearances for the 20-time champions, scoring 26 goals and assisting a further 22 in that time.
He’s found the back of the net in the 2024 FA Cup final and subsequent Community Shield final, and, at one stage, had cemented his place on the team sheet week in, week out.
Add that to the fact he’s an eight-capped international for reigning world champions Argentina, with whom he’s lifted the Copa America, and INEOS’ £40 million valuation will make him an attractive coup for any side.
