Manchester, England — In a move that has stunned fans and insiders alike, Manchester United are reportedly prepared to offload rising star Alejandro Garnacho in the upcoming summer transfer window — and the destination is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
According to multiple close sources, United have informed Garnacho’s camp of their intention to sell him outright, citing both financial strategy and tactical reshaping under the club’s evolving leadership. But what shocked everyone wasn’t just the decision to let him go — it’s who has come knocking.
The Rival Bid That Shook Old Trafford
One of Manchester United’s Premier League arch-rivals — rumored to be Liverpool or Manchester City — has already approached Garnacho with a lucrative long-term contract said to be “almost double” his current wages.
Though the club name has not been officially confirmed, insiders describe the negotiations as “serious” and “far beyond exploratory.” The Argentine winger, known for his explosive pace and raw creativity, is seen as a game-changing addition by the rival camp.
From Future Star to Transfer Shock
Just 19 years old, Garnacho had been viewed by many as the cornerstone of Manchester United’s future. His breakout performances in recent seasons, including crucial goals in both domestic and European matches, had earned him praise from fans, legends, and pundits alike.
However, sources inside Old Trafford suggest that new leadership sees other profiles as better suited for the club’s direction. One anonymous staff member stated:
“Garnacho is brilliant, but the club’s looking at rebuilding from the midfield up. Cashing in on a high-value attacker now makes sense financially.”
Fan Backlash Begins
Unsurprisingly, the rumor has triggered immediate backlash from fans, with “#SaveGarnacho” trending on X (formerly Twitter) within an hour of the leak.
“Selling Garnacho to one of our biggest rivals? Madness. Absolute betrayal,” wrote one furious supporter.
Some fans have gone as far as demanding an emergency fan forum with club executives to explain what many are calling the “biggest mistake since Di María.”
Garnacho’s Camp Stays Quiet — For Now
While Garnacho has remained silent on social media, his brother Roberto Garnacho posted a cryptic message on Instagram just hours after the news broke:
“Sometimes the door you don’t want to open leads to the life you never imagined.”
Speculation is now rife that Garnacho may already be preparing to move, with talks rumored to have advanced as early as last week.
