Manchester United Considering Garnacho Sale to Fund Move for Barcelona’s Balde
Manchester United are reportedly weighing up the sale of Alejandro Garnacho in the upcoming summer transfer window as they look to generate funds for a move for Barcelona full-back Alejandro Balde.
The Red Devils have endured a disappointing season, currently sitting 13th in the Premier League table with 29 points from 24 games. As a result, new manager Ruben Amorim is expected to overhaul the squad once the season ends.
United’s Interest in Balde & Garnacho’s Uncertain Future
While United’s January transfer activity was minimal, Amorim is eager to bring in fresh talent to strengthen the squad ahead of the next campaign. One of his top priorities is 21-year-old Alejandro Balde, whose pace, defensive awareness, and attacking threat have made him a standout performer for Barcelona.
However, financing a move for Balde won’t be easy, and selling Garnacho is now being considered as a way to raise funds for the deal, according to GiveMeSport.
Garnacho, 20, has drawn significant interest, particularly from Chelsea, who explored the possibility of signing him in January. Though no move materialized, TBR Football previously reported that Garnacho had grown frustrated under Amorim, adding fuel to exit rumors.
Doubts Over Garnacho’s Role at United
Despite flashes of brilliance and undeniable talent, Manchester United are still unsure about Garnacho’s long-term future at the club.
While Amorim has publicly praised the young Argentine’s work ethic and attitude, reports suggest that internal doubts remain over his place in the squad.
If United decide to offload Garnacho, they will demand a high transfer fee and won’t sell him cheaply. Chelsea remain interested, and given his potential, several top Premier League clubs could compete for his signature.
However, any sale would need to meet United’s financial expectations, particularly if the funds are to be reinvested in a marquee signing like Balde.
What’s Next for United?
With the summer window approaching, Garnacho’s future remains uncertain. Manchester United’s transfer strategy will likely depend on:
✅ Their final league position
✅ Amorim’s squad evaluation
✅ Whether they can secure funds for priority signings
As United prepare for a crucial rebuild, Garnacho’s potential departure could be the key to unlocking a move for one of Amorim’s top targets.
🚨 What do you think? Should United cash in on Garnacho to sign Balde, or should they keep faith in the young Argentine? 👇
