Argentine winger turns down Al-Nassr as Chelsea and Napoli interest cools; United face costly squad overhaul
Manchester, UK – Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho has turned down a lucrative move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, choosing to remain in Europe despite being told he has no future at Old Trafford, according to The Telegraph.
The 21-year-old Argentine international, who clashed publicly with manager Ruben Amorim after United’s Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, has been instructed to find a new club after making 58 appearances last season. While Chelsea and Napoli had previously shown interest, the Blues signed Jamie Gittens instead, and Napoli’s pursuit has stalled as they near a deal for PSV Eindhoven’s Noa Lang.
Al-Nassr, home to Cristiano Ronaldo, emerged as a surprise suitor in recent weeks but failed to convince Garnacho to make the switch to the Middle East. The rejection leaves the young winger in limbo as United face financial complications in offloading several high-profile players.
Reports suggest the club may have to subsidize wages for Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony even after their departures, with buying clubs aware of United’s urgency to clear the squad. Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia have also submitted transfer requests, signaling a major summer exodus ahead of the 2025-26 season.
As Garnacho weighs his next move, United’s hierarchy braces for a costly restructuring, with Amorim keen to reshape the squad after a turbulent debut campaign. The coming weeks could see further exits as the club scrambles to balance the books and rebuild.
