Alejandro Garnacho’s partner Eva Garcia stoked the flames of the transfer speculation surrounding the Argentine forward with a social media post captioned “last game”.
The image of their son Enzo’s baby Manchester United kit was posted on Sunday alongside a smiling and crying emoji. The Instagram story could very well have been referencing the fact that the visit of Aston Villa to Old Trafford would be the club’s final game of the Premier League season, although the events preceding this weekend’s match certainly opened the door to alternative conclusions.
Multiple outlets have reported that Garnacho may have already played his “last game” for Manchester United. Following Wednesday’s galling Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, the furious forward bemoaned a “piece of s---” season. Garnacho was only afforded a cameo role in the showpiece, prompting him to fume, “I played every round until reaching the final, I helped the team, but playing 20 minutes today... I don’t know.”
This very public outburst has reportedly convinced United manager Ruben Amorim to part ways with Garnacho this summer—a decision the head coach supposedly told the rest of United’s squad.
Chelsea have been framed as long-term suitors for Garnacho, with talk of a January exit rampant after the winger first clashed with Amorim. Unlike Marcus Rashford, who was forced into a mid-season loan move to Aston Villa, Garnacho appeared to have won over the Portuguese coach, snuffing out any move to west London or Napoli.
Both clubs are thought to be remain interested in the mercurial winger, although United are expected to demand as much as £60 million ($80.9 million) for a player who boasts six Premier League goals and two assists this season.
