‘Alejandro Garnacho to Tottenham update – it will happen’
Tottenham Plot Ambitious Move for Man United Star Alejandro Garnacho Amid Premier League Transfer Battle
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing a high-profile swoop for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho in what could become one of the most talked-about transfer sagas of the summer window. According to former United and Tottenham scout Mick Brown—who remains closely connected to both clubs—the 20-year-old Argentine is increasingly likely to leave Old Trafford, with Spurs among the clubs ready to pounce.
In an exclusive interview with Football Insider, Brown claimed that Garnacho has already made it known that he wishes to continue playing in the Premier League. With Manchester United open to a sale, Tottenham seeking reinforcements in wide areas, and Garnacho eager to stay in England, a potential deal is seen as beneficial for all parties involved.
Garnacho’s Future Hinges on Highest Bidder
Despite the mutual interest, the winger’s future remains uncertain for now, with no official offers tabled as of yet. Brown revealed that United are trying to spark a bidding war, setting an initial asking price of around £50 million. Tottenham and Chelsea are among the clubs credited with serious interest, while other Premier League outfits are expected to monitor the situation closely as the summer unfolds.
“The situation is clear,” Brown told Football Insider on June 22. “United are open to selling Garnacho, Tottenham are keen to strengthen their attacking options, and the player wants to remain in the Premier League. But it will ultimately come down to which club is willing to pay the highest fee.”
The veteran scout added that while United would typically be reluctant to sell a rising young talent to a domestic rival, the financial reality of the situation is driving their strategy. The Red Devils are eager to cash in on Garnacho to fund a replacement—reportedly Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo is among the names on their radar.
“In a normal scenario, no club would want to sell a young talent to a direct competitor,” Brown continued. “But United’s priority now is raising funds. They’re not bothered about where he goes—as long as they get top dollar. Tottenham have been monitoring the situation and will act if they feel the deal is within reach. However, Chelsea’s spending power makes them a serious competitor.”
Amorim Reportedly Pushing Garnacho Out
Brown also made the striking claim that Manchester United head coach Rúben Amorim, who is expected to take charge this summer, has been keen to move Garnacho on for some time. “Amorim has been trying to offload Garnacho for months,” he stated in a May 27 interview with Football Insider. “It’s not just about money—it’s also about the manager’s plans for the team.”
Amorim’s vision for United may not include the Argentine winger, despite Garnacho showing flashes of brilliance since breaking into the first team. If United can successfully orchestrate a bidding war, they could be in line for a significant financial boost to reinvest in the squad.
Solomon’s Future Tied to Garnacho Pursuit
Tottenham’s pursuit of Garnacho could have direct implications for current winger Manor Solomon. Brown noted that Spurs’ new manager Thomas Frank will evaluate Solomon during pre-season training before making any definitive decisions about his future at the club.
“There’s growing interest in Solomon,” Brown said on June 19. “Clubs like Burnley and Leeds are circling, and Frank will use the early weeks of pre-season to determine whether the Israeli international fits into his tactical plans.”
With Garnacho on Tottenham’s wishlist, Solomon’s chances of regular game time could be limited, prompting a potential move away from North London if the club receives the right offer.
What Happens Next?
While the transfer window is not yet officially open, speculation is already building rapidly. Brown believes that once a formal bid is submitted for Garnacho, it will act as a catalyst, potentially prompting other clubs to enter the fray. “As soon as one offer is made, it wakes everyone up,” he said. “That’s when the serious negotiations begin.”
With Garnacho’s future hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on Tottenham to see if they step up their interest in the Argentine starlet—or if Chelsea or another rival beats them to the punch. Either way, this is a saga that looks set to heat up in the coming weeks.
