Man Utd set OUTRAGEOUS Garnacho price amid Arsenal and Chelsea interest

Manchester United are demanding as much as €83 million for Alejandro Garnacho this summer, according to a report.

The Argentine winger is expected to leave the Red Devils in the proper transfer window, which kicks off on June 16 for English clubs and July 1 in the rest of Europe’s major leagues.

Garnacho has been told to find a new club by head coach Ruben Amorim after hitting out at the Portuguese tactician due to his limited minutes in the Europa League final.

Last week, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed that Garnacho’s exit has effectively been sealed, with all parties agreeing that it’s time to part ways. Garnacho is one of Man Utd’s most valuable assets, so his exit could go a long way towards funding their summer business.

Romano claimed that three English clubs were ‘pushing’ to sign the 20-year-old. It was later revealed that two of those sides were Arsenal and Chelsea, with the latter already courting Garnacho in January. At the time, Chelsea baulked at Man Utd’s €70m asking price.

Man Utd set Garnacho price

Heading into the summer, it was expected that Garnacho would be more affordable this summer due to Man Utd’s desperation to get rid of him and raise funds.

Incredibly, The Independent claims that the opposite is the case. According to journalist Miguel Delaney, Man Utd have actually set a higher price for the winger this summer as they are demanding €83m (£70m).

This seems to be a hugely excessive demand, considering that Garnacho currently boasts an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €€59.8m after previously peaking at €66.5m.

The report further claims that Aston Villa are among the clubs interested in Garnacho. FootballTransfers already revealed last week that data analytics firm SciSports believes the Villans would be a great fit for the Argentine.

However, given Villa’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules concerns, there appears to be no way that they will match Man Utd’s inflated valuation even if they were to decide to cash in on Morgan Rogers. Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli are also credited with an interest.
