Man Utd's quick-fix exit strategy saw them drastically cut Garnacho's asking price.
As a deal to a Premier League competitor appears more plausible, Manchester United has reportedly cut their £70 million asking price for Alejandro Garnacho in an attempt to expedite their departure.
Near the close of the previous season, the Argentine forward lost all favour with Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim.
The last straw was when he started the Europa League final against Tottenham in Bilbao as a substitute.
"I played every round helping the team up until the final, and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know," Garnacho said in a statement following the game.
"My decision will be influenced not only by the final but also by the club's overall status and the season.
I'm going to make an effort to enjoy the summer and wait to see what occurs. His brother Robert's Instagram post, which added: "Working as no-one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 minutes and get thrown under the bus," further cast doubt on his future.
Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Milan, and Bayer Leverkusen all expressed interest in Garnacho, but it has now been revealed that he would prefer to stay in the Premier League, which would need Manchester United to reduce their asking price, according to GiveMeSport.
According to the source, Garnacho is committed to proving himself in English football and disproving Amorim in the process, but the Red Devils will ultimately lose out if they let the 20-year-old to join a Premier League opponent.
According to GiveMeSport, they might have to reduce their value from £70 million (€82 million/$94 million) to as low as £40 million (€47 million/$54 million), which is £10 million less than what Thesportmoment transfer insider Rudy Galetti had earlier stated they would be willing to accept.
Which teams in the Premier League are interested in Garnacho?
Arsenal was mentioned early in the pursuit of Garnacho's signature as it became apparent that his future was uncertain, while Chelsea and Aston Villa have reportedly expressed interest in him in the past.
Although the Stamford Bridge team's pursuit of Dortmund star Jamie Gittens may eventually thwart a move to west London, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is a huge fan of Garnacho's, as Thesportmoment has previously revealed.
As they consider the idea of starting Bukayo Saka on the right and Garnacho on the left of their attack, Arsenal's interest is thought to be more transitory.
After having success with their Marcus Rashford loan in the second half of last season, Villa is reportedly considering another attack on Manchester United.
Alejandro Garnacho's objective is to remain in the Premier League since he is expected to depart Manchester United this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, who recently stated on X that a move to an English rival is imminent for Garnacho.
The Premier League is the player's top preference, and the agreement appears tricky despite Ten Hag's gratitude and Bayer Leverkusen's interest.
Garnacho moved from Atletico Madrid to United when he was 16 years old, and he made an immediate impression in the first squad by scoring crucial goals for Ten Hag's Red Devils and establishing himself as a mainstay by 2023.
But Amorim's selection of players like Amad Diallo and Mason Mount above the Argentine as the 2-24/25 season came to an end swiftly soured the winger's Old Trafford career.
Whether any of the aforementioned teams are prepared to pay United's reduced asking price for Garancho during the remaining summer transfer season is still up in the air.
