Argentine winger considers future as Chelsea and Napoli circle following explosive bench row with Amorim
Manchester United have placed a £60 million valuation on Alejandro Garnacho after the young star’s explosive reaction to being benched in their Europa League final defeat – with Chelsea and Napoli already preparing summer bids for the disgruntled winger.
The 20-year-old’s frustration boiled over after Ruben Amorim’s controversial decision to start him on the sidelines against Tottenham, where Brennan Johnson’s strike condemned United to silverware heartbreak. “I played every round until the final… then 20 minutes today. I don’t know,” Garnacho cryptically told reporters post-match, with his brother Roberto later accusing Amorim of “throwing players under the bus” for referencing the Argentine’s semi-final miss in defense of the snub.
United’s hierarchy now face a brutal squad overhaul, with Garnacho’s academy status making him a prime £60m “pure profit” asset to fund their rebuild. The Telegraph reveals both Chelsea and Napoli tested the waters with January bids, and could return as the Red Devils target £90m from sales including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony.
While Garnacho’s contract runs until 2028, his palpable disillusionment and United’s desperation to comply with financial rules have created a perfect storm. As the club chases Ipswich’s Liam Delap and Wolves’ Matheus Cunha, Garnacho’s emotional exit would mark another painful chapter in United’s transitional era – with the prodigy’s explosive potential now potentially benefiting rivals instead of reigniting Old Trafford’s glory days.
