Arsenal’s summer transfer plans are starting to materialize, with Alejandro Garnacho currently causing ripples. Currently worth 51 million, the brilliant winger is supposed to have spoken with Arsenal through his agents about a possible transfer away from Manchester United. The Gunners are looking for a right-footed winger to bolster their attack, and Garnacho could be the perfect choice to fill that position.
Following a chaotic end to the season, the 20-year-old Argentina international is at a crossroads. His absence from the starting lineup in the Europa League final raised questions about his position in the team. Clearly dissatisfied with his small role, Garnacho expressed public remarks implying discontentment with his current condition. Thus, with the player’s camp already looking into solutions for a fresh chapter, reports have lately verified that a farewell is approaching.

Adding depth and quality to the team is still top priority as Arsenal get ready for another title-challenging season. Conversations with Garnacho’s officials reveal that the club is willing to evaluate him as part of their summer recruiting plan. Although they haven’t reached an agreement, Arsenal are assessing several targets for broader roles, with Garnacho emerging as one of the more exciting options.
Several clubs are expected to fiercely compete for the winger. Also in the race for Garnacho are Napoli and Atletico Madrid; the latter is thought to be the player’s preferred destination. According to rumours, Atletico want to get two Manchester players’ services this summer, and Garnacho is frontmost in their plans. Arsenal’s Champions League qualification and general project under Mikel Arteta, however, might give them a very important advantage in negotiations.
At roughly 60 million, Garnacho’s current market value is a figure that matches the Gunners’ recent spending habits. Following the audacious Declan Rice acquisition last summer, Arsenal have shown a desire to invest significantly in top-tier players, especially young ones with great potential.

Garnacho is not the only attacking player Arsenal is watching. Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, who have both performed well throughout Europe this season, are also in discussions with the club. The search for a dynamic winger also includes Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, who has attracted attention due to uncertainty over his future.
Apart from these top names, Arsenal are looking at a bigger range of other possibilities. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Nico Williams, Rafael Leao, Bryan Mbeumo, Ademola Lookman, and Mohammed Kudus are among those scouts have reportedly been following. Though each of these players offers a different skill set, all match the profile Arteta seeks to bring to his team: the aggressive, technically talented attacker.
Additionally, the Gunners are actively monitoring Anthony Gordon’s situation at Newcastle. With new sporting director Edu Gaspar fronting a strong recruiting effort supported by significant funding, the club continues to be active in the market. Arsenal aspire to create a squad able to contend at the highest level in Europe as well as to challenge nationally.
Alejandro Garnacho’s possible departure from Manchester has given Arsenal the opportunity to make a major statement in the transfer market. The Gunners now have a crucial decision to make in the market as their representatives reach out to the North London club. It remains a doubt whether Garnacho will wear the red and white next year, but Arsenal’s plan to improve their attack is clear.
