Manchester United are reportedly ready to accept around £40 million ($54m) for Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentina international among several players pushed out by manager Ruben Amorim. The winger was previously valued as high as £70 million ($94.4m), but growing interest from Premier League rivals may now lead to a cut-price exit for the 21-year-old.

  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Manchester United have slashed their asking price for Garnacho to around £40 million, per The Telegraph. The winger is one of several players left out of the club’s pre-season tour of the United States. Earlier reports have stated that Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur are all monitoring his situation, as the Argentina winger would prefer to stay in the Premier League.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Amorim is reshaping Manchester United’s squad and has sidelined Garnacho along with Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Marcus Rashford, who is set to join Barcelona on a loan deal. The Red Devils are reportedly prepared to take financial losses to back their Portuguese coach's long-term plan, and Garnacho’s sale could be one of several departures this summer as part of a major overhaul.

  Garnacho drew strong interest from Chelsea and Napoli in January, when he was priced closer to £70 million. His departure seems certain now that Amorim has stated unequivocally that the Argentine is not part of his plans and that his asking price has been cut. Despite overseas interest, Garnacho is expected to prioritise offers from English clubs as he wants to stay in the Premier League.
