Alejandro Garnacho’s stance on Real Madrid move ‘confirmed’ as transfer meeting ‘targeted’

A recent report claims that Alejandro Garnacho has already stated his position over a possible transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Last week, Real Madrid Exclusivo made the assertion that Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, would be in Manchester for his team’s forthcoming Champions League quarterfinal matchup versus Manchester City. He allegedly has one major task on his mind: chatting with Garnacho’s entourage about a potential transfer to United.

Garnacho was born in Madrid and spent five years with Atletico Madrid’s youth team before coming to England and United in 2020.

Perez seems certain that he can lure the international player from Argentina back to his hometown. However, Garnacho has made it obvious that, at this stage of his career, he does not want to play for Real Madrid, according to TyC Sports journalist Gaston Edul.

The winger’s “dream to play for Real Madrid” is mentioned, though, before he finally calls it quits on football. In the previous season, Garnacho made his way into United’s starting lineup during manager Erik ten Hag’s debut campaign at Old Trafford. With five goals in 28 Premier League games this season, including a spectacular bicycle kick strike against Everton in November, the 19-year-old has shown even more improvement.

After frequently playing on the left wing throughout the previous season, he has switched to the right side of attack in recent months. Ten Hag disclosed the rationale behind that specific modification to Sky Sports in December, saying, “It is not just about the wingers.” The full-backs should always be there. However, during the first half of the season, we have frequently had to make concessions. Diogo Dalot has a left foot and a right foot. Although it can be quite effective, your strikers won’t always benefit from it.

“With Garnacho on the right, you get a right-footer, a different type of player who can go inside but also go outside. We want those dynamics with swapping positions, combinations, getting in behind, bringing it out of the triangles and, from there, serving our strikers.”
