Real Madrid Transfer News: Real Madrid allegedly remains interested in signing talented Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho.
According to Defensa Central (via SportBible), the Red Devils winger has long caught the eye of Real Madrid. Last month, he signed a contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until June of 2028.
Assuming the player lives up to Real Madrid’s high standards, the reported €100 million release clause should be a manageable financial burden. The Argentine winger got off to a good start this season, contributing to the first team in 29 appearances (across all competitions) with 4 goals and 5 assists.
However, since suffering an ankle injury on March 12, Garnacho has been unable to play for his team. On Friday, April 28, he made his comeback to training and is now hopeful of playing in Manchester United’s May 4 Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The 18-year-old is still developing, but Erik Ten Hag clearly has great regard for him, as seen by the significant amount of playing time he has received this season. However, if Real Madrid come up with the cash, Manchester United may be powerless due to the presence of a release clause, albeit a large one.

Even if Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes are already on Los Blancos’ roster, the club is constantly on the search for the next great player on the globe. Given all the buzz about Garnacho in recent months, he very well could be.
Alejandro Garnacho, an Argentine U20 international who has played four times for Manchester United, has signed a contract extension despite interest from Real Madrid.
The Red Devils’ prompt action to renew the Argentine’s tenure demonstrates how highly they regard them. The contract extension followed his first title as a Manchester United player, the Carabao Cup, which he won in February with a 2-0 victory against Newcastle United.
