Erik ten Hag wants a Manchester United star to replace Wirtz o5w

Erik ten Hag has set his sights on Alejandro Garnacho as his main target to reinforce Bayer Leverkusen in the event of the imminent departure of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool. The Dutch coach, who has just taken over the reins of the Bundesliga champions, has requested the g of the Argentine winger from the German club, whom he knows firsthand after having coached him at Manchester United.

The choice of Garnacho is not a coincidence. The South American attacker has lost prominence at Old Trafford, especially after the arrival of Rubén Amorim, with whom he has a distant relationship. His exclusion from important matches has created a tense atmosphere, and it seems that his time at United is coming to an end. This situation has sparked the interest of several European clubs, but the Ten Hag factor could tilt the balance in favor of Leverkusen.

With the likely sale of Wirtz, the Germans will have enough resources to undertake a significant operation. The initial idea would be a loan, although Manchester prefers a permanent sale to help balance its books. In that sense, any income from Garnacho would be welcome and would allow United to gain flexibility in the market.

The competition, however, is fierce. Napoli and Aston Villa have also shown a strong interest in the young winger. The Italians previously inquired about him in January, while Unai Emery is seeking offensive alternatives in light of potential departures from his squad. In this context, Ten Hag relies on his personal connection with Garnacho to persuade him to Leverkusen, which aims to stay in the European elite, even without Wirtz. The summer looks crucial for the Argentine's future.
