Real Madrid and Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho have appreciation for each other
Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho and Real Madrid both like each other as Los Blancos look to make a move for the 18-year-old, according to Relevo (h/t Express).
The Spanish giants wish to build for the future and have the Argentine youngster on their radar. Palmeiras star Endrick is already close to a move to the La Liga outfit and now the Red Devils’ forward has also been identified by the Santiago Bernabeu side.
Garnacho and the Brazilian wonderkid are thought to be two potential talents who could explode in the coming years. Madrid have already had success counting on young forwards like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
Los Blancos also seem to be building a squad with fresh blood. Their midfield consists of the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde. Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos add experience to the La Liga outfit’s squad.
Garnacho often makes trips to the Spanish capital to see his family. The 18-year-old had also gone home during the World Cup break.
Even though there is apparent interest from Madrid, United are looking to get the Argentine to put pen to paper on a new deal. His current contract expires in the summer of 2025.
Garnacho has grown his influence in the first-team squad this season. Initially, Erik ten hag was reluctant to hand the youngster a lot of game time. However, the 18-year-old’s performances in the last few fixtures for the Red Devils have been crucial.
The Argentine has been a game-changer for us a few times already in the current campaign. In the final fixture against Fulham in the Premier League before the mid-season break, the forward scored a stoppage-time winner for the Old Trafford side.
