Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly joined Atletico Madrid and Chelsea in the race to sign 20-year-old Manchester United whizkid Alejandro Garnacho.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Alejandro Garnacho is the subject of interest from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga title contenders are combing the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Manchester United whizkid. Meanwhile, the Red Devils want £70 million to part ways with the Argentine international, with Chelsea and Atletico Madrid also keen on signing him.

How has Alejandro Garnacho fared at Manchester United?

Alejandro Garnacho has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United. While the Madrid-born winger has blown hot and cold throughout his spell in the senior setup at Old Trafford, he has shown his potential in flashes of brilliance.

The 20-year-old has shown that this season, amassing ten goals and nine assists in 50 outings across all competitions. Nevertheless, Garnacho’s stock in the market is high, with several high-profile clubs across Europe setting their sights on him. Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and Bayer Leverkusen are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

A man in demand

Recent reports have claimed that the Argentine international is closing in on joining Atletico Madrid. While that might not be the case, Garnacho is a viable target for Los Rojiblancos as they prepare to part ways with Antoine Griezmann in the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Chelsea mulled over signing Alejandro Garnacho in the winter transfer window before the deal failed to see the light of day. The continued interest makes sense, considering Jadon Sancho and Mykhailo Mudryk face an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. So, the Manchester United whizkid is a viable target for Chelsea.

As for Bayer Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz, Victor Boniface, and Patrik Schick face an uncertain future at BayArena. The trio is highly sought-after heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Bundesliga title contenders are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit, with Garnacho being an option worth considering.

Meanwhile, Manchester United will demand around £70 million to part ways with the 20-year-old Argentine international in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the Madrid-born winger.
