Alejandro Garnacho is anticipated to leave Manchester United during the upcoming summer transfer window, as reported by Fichajes.
The Argentine international has faced challenges in securing regular playing time at Manchester United following the appointment of Ruben Amorim as manager. He has only managed to play a full 90 minutes on four occasions under the Portuguese coach, leading to speculation regarding his possible exit in the near future.

Garnacho made his first-team debut for Manchester United in 2022, after dedicating two years to their youth academy, which he entered in 2020. He is considered one of the most promising talents in the current Manchester United roster, and it is easy to overlook that he is still only 20 years old.
It seems that Garnacho is not only poised to depart in the summer but has also identified his next destination.
Atletico Madrid to Sign Garnacho
Move would see him return to his former club
Atletico Madrid has reportedly “already reached a verbal agreement” to acquire Garnacho during the upcoming summer transfer window, as stated by Fichajes. Manchester United has allegedly opted to allow Garnacho to depart, given that the forward does not fit into Amorim’s future plans.
Having spent five years in Atletico’s youth system and being a native of Madrid, a transfer would enable him to return to his hometown and the club where he began his professional journey. Meanwhile, Manchester United is facing challenges related to Profit and Sustainability, necessitating a significant sale to ensure financial stability.
In this context, Garnacho could represent an optimal sale for the club, especially if Amorim has already determined that he will not be a key player in his future lineup. However, it remains uncertain whether Diego Simeone’s team can finalize an agreement with Manchester United.
