Aston Villa Want to Sign 'Phenomenal' £70m Forward, He Wants PL Move

Aston Villa is reportedly interested in signing Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho for £70 million this summer, following Manchester United's decision to sell the Argentine after a falling out with manager Ruben Amorim. With Villa looking to rebuild their attack and Garnacho eyeing a move within England, this development could significantly impact sports betting, making Villa a potential contender for enhanced performance next season.

Aston Villa are among the clubs interested in signing Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho this summer, according to The Independent. The Villans are looking to rebuild their attacking options for the new season after failing to qualify for the 2025/26 Champions League, with Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio's loan deals expired while question marks have emerged over the futures of Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey also.

Man Utd are expected to sell Argentina international Garnacho after another public spat with manager Ruben Amorim, and now Villa are ready to put their name into the hat to seal his signature.

Garnacho, who has been described as "phenomenal," was a target for Serie A giants Napoli and Premier League outfit Chelsea during the January transfer window, but a deal never materialised.

During the 2024/25 season, the Argentine made 57 appearances for the Red Devils, registering ten goals and ten assists in the process, but his future now looks to lie away from Old Trafford after Amorim told him to find a new club before the final game of the season.

Villa are looking at Garnacho as an option, and now know that Man Utd have slapped a £70m asking price on the forward for any interested parties.

Napoli and Chelsea remain interested in a deal, while Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen and La Liga side Atletico Madrid are also tracking him. It's believed that Garnacho wants to continue playing in England, rather than move abroad.

However, Villa's interest is unlikely to advance unless the club are forced to sell Morgan Rogers this summer - who is attracting interest from both Chelsea and Arsenal. Villa don't want to sell the England international and have slapped a £100m asking price on his head, but concerns over their financial position due to FFP mean they could be forced to consider a deal should they receive a big offer.
