MANCHESTER — Garnacho Shuts Down Transfer Talks Over “Disrespectful” £24 Million ValuationManchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly halted all ongoing transfer discussions after discovering the club’s willingness to let him go for £24 million — a figure the 20-year-old is said to view as deeply undervaluing his worth.
Garnacho Reacts with Frustration as United Pursue New SigningsOnce regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in United’s ranks, Garnacho was said to be “shocked and offended” upon learning about the proposed transfer fee during preliminary discussions with a foreign club.
The Argentina international, who played a key role during an otherwise difficult 2024/25 campaign, has made it clear he feels undervalued and disrespected by the club’s pricing.
According to sources close to the player, Garnacho’s immediate response was direct:“I’m not cheap.”
Since then, his representatives have made contact with United’s management, demanding clarity about his role in the club’s long-term project.
For Garnacho, the valuation is not just about money — it’s about recognition.> “He believes he should be central to United’s rebuild, not treated like a dispensable asset,” said one insider familiar with the discussions.
“If the club doesn’t acknowledge that, he’s not going to remain silent.”A Frustrated Star Amidst Change at Old TraffordDespite a season filled with poor results and internal turbulence, Garnacho emerged as a rare spark in the United lineup.
Known for his acceleration, direct approach, and confidence on the ball, the young winger also built a strong connection with the fan base, becoming one of the few players seen as part of the club’s long-term identity.
The suggested £24 million fee has reportedly created friction within the club.
While certain decision-makers believe the figure is reasonable given United’s financial situation and desire to refresh the squad, others — including staff members and players — are stunned that a talent with international caps and Premier League experience could be priced so low.
Internal Fallout and Garnacho’s Next MoveThe backlash from Garnacho and his camp has prompted an internal reassessment of his status.
At present, all transfer talks involving the player have been suspended, with Garnacho making it clear that he will not entertain any offers until the club provides a clear and respectful vision for his future.
He is expected to hold further talks with manager Rúben Amorim and senior club officials in the coming days.
Those conversations could prove pivotal in determining whether Garnacho continues at Old Trafford or pushes for a move elsewhere — potentially at a fee far higher than what was initially floated.
For now, the message from Garnacho is firm: he will not be undervalued, ignored, or sold on the cheap.
