According to the Red Devils have placed a hefty £70 million ($95m) valuation on Garnacho, with several elite clubs across Europe keeping a close eye on his availability.

Chelsea and Aston Villa have both been mentioned as domestic suitors, while on the continent, Napoli, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen are also exploring the possibility of a move. A move to the Bundesliga would see him reunite with Erik ten Hag. Villa’s interest is more unexpected, though any formal offer could hinge on the sale of Morgan Rogers, who is himself being pursued by Chelsea and Arsenal.
WHAT GARNACHO SAID
Garnacho’s own comments following United’s Europa League final loss to Tottenham Hotspur have further stoked speculation about his future. The winger, who was surprisingly benched for the decisive match in Bilbao, appeared disillusioned in the aftermath. In a candid post-match statement, he described the campaign as “s***” and left his own status uncertain, saying: "I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next."
DID YOU KNOW?
The situation with Garnacho is part of a broader attacking reshuffle at Old Trafford, with a number of other forwards also facing uncertain futures. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony are all reportedly on the chopping block as United look to reshape their frontline.
