Real Madrid in pursuit of Man Utd's Alejandro Garnacho with deal deemed 'very manageable'

Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho continued to attract interest from Real Madrid, a fresh report has claimed.

Garnacho put pen to paper on a new five-year contract at Old Trafford after a breakthrough season with United, in which he registered four goals and nine assists.

The Argentinian's campaign was disrupted by injury however, with the player having been out of action since a goalless draw with Southampton in February.

Garnacho returned to training last Friday and could potentially make the United squad for their Premier League encounter with Brighton on Thursday night.

The 18-year-old’s return could be a huge boost to the Old Trafford club, with United looking to cement a Champions League place and better Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

While Garnacho has committed himself to United until 2028, he remains the subject of interest of long-standing admirers Real.

Garnacho to Real Madrid?

According to Spanish publication Defensa Central, Garnacho’s new deal includes a buyout clause of £87million (€100million).

In turn, Los Blancos are reportedly still monitoring the teenager. The publication claims that should Garancho continue to develop at his current rate, Real would consider signing the winger.

Moreover, Garanacho’s release clause is thought to be “very manageable” for the La Liga giants, provided the player meets the “enormous” expectation placed on him.

For the time being, however, Garnacho appears happy at Old Trafford. Speaking to club media the youngster was keen to thank Erik ten Hag for his support during the campaign.

Garnacho said: "I want to say thank you to the manager first because he gave me the opportunity and, of course, my family, all academy coaches and everyone who has helped me so much.

"I wouldn't be signing this new contract without their support."
