I know no club tends to start with their best offer but as opening bids go, that’s pathetic.
Alejandro Garnacho (out)
- Thread starter Luca[4]
- Start date
You're right. It is 5 and not 3.
How about Napoli feck off?
In the current market he’s a £60m prospect. Offering less than 50 is time wasting
A quick and direct youth player with a very solid output only at United is this player worth under 70m.
Same as Arsenal and Liverpool. This was also us 15 years ago. People paid premium just because you’re associated with Manchester United. Now it’s the opposite.Yeah, and have you seen how much City get for academy players who rarely play and are permanent loanees?
It helps when you’re not a mediocre team with bloated salaries.
Absolutley not. Napoli can get stuffed.
Pedulla is not very consistent in terms of reliability. So far Fabrizio and Di Marzio have said nothing.
I’d be more up for this if I had confidence the money would be used wisely..
I wouldn't even sell him for £70M tbh.
Exactly this!
Honestly if we sell a 20 year old with his statistics to his name already we'd be insane.
The clubs going backwards fast.

A large group on the Cafe are always telling us how shit Garnacho is! I hope they are not the same people now posting saying 40M is a piss take!
I don't see him leaving for less than €80m. We spent more than that on fecking Antony not that long ago (obviously a flop, but also a point to say there's no reason to sell for less for a much better prospect). He might not be a natural fit for Amorim, but he's a top prospect and has shown it at the highest level. No chance we sell for cheap or reasonable. It's stupid money or feck off
Based on something that has not even happened?
Damn, there is really people on here who would let Garnacho go for less than what we bought Antony for?
I think Garnacho is going to be a superstar, would never let him go for under 120M

That must be £38m on top of Kvaratskhelia...surely
Why are people believing an "exclusive" story by Alfred Pedulla? When was the last time he broke an exclusive that turned out to be correct?
Its in the name, people.
The only way I would accept Garnacho leaving is if Kvara moves the opposite direction. Apparently Garnacho has been in talks for weeks with Napoli, hopefully we've been talking to Kvara and the rumors of PSG being almost done are just that, rumors.
I don't care about financial fair play, selling our best prospect in decades is never the right move for Manchester United, even if we get Kvara. Sir Jim has got a long way to go to prove himself to United fans, and so far he is moving in the wrong direction.

To my limited understanding, It's just how transfers are amortised. In theory if you received 60 Million you could spend up to 5x that amount depending on the length of contract for the incoming players.
It is 5 yeah.
There's no point in selling him, we won't be able to afford anyone better.
I'd snap someone's hand off for £70 million that would be incredible for our rebuild. Would allow us to spend up to like £300-350 million.
Better than Garnacho, are you having a laugh?
I understand people think he has potential but you could easily find someone for less than what we would receive for him that would be a better fit for this system.
Problem isn't selling him per se, as he is not a starter of a vital player at this moment, but the fact that we wouldn't know what to do with the money and we would end up with a worse or older player.
He is a young talented lad who can improve.

Teams are aware of how bad our finances are.
everybody has a price, i think 50m-60m pound is a reasonable fee for Garnacho, although i would prefer to keep him as a squad player.
When would you guys realise our issues are more related to actual cash rather than just PSR , So irrespective of how much we get for Garnacho we aren't spending £300-350 million .
You can ask for any price you like, doesn't mean you'll get it. They are rumored to be selling Kvaratskhelia for around £50/55 million.
I'm fully aware of that. There are issues with both. I was just stating how it could work in theory.
Imagine if he plays for other team. At his age, experience, and talent. He would cost at least 80m. And with silly addons on top of it.
We shouldn't sell him, he's still young playing in a position he's not used to. Ideally he wouldn't be relied on but we're forced in a shit situation right now with this squad. And honestly I'm not even sure Amorim is gonna make it to the end of next season so why sell all our wingers and be put in a bad situation in the near future. Antony and Rashford need to be sold for their max value before we start selling our young stars.
The thing is it’s not like we need to sell to comply with PSR, we only need to sell this month if we want to bring other players in during this window.
We are hardly frckin selling him! Are Ineos losing their mind
You can't just keep spending 3 times what you sell for though like the poster said. Selling for £60m and buying 3-4 players for £180m is still a £120m loss for PSR that needs to be balanced over 3 years. For long term stability I think it's better to spread out signings and sales to have more PSR flexibility, otherwise you get into the mess that we're apparently in now where you must sell to buy.
£38m including add-ons………….jeez.
£60m would be great. Anything under £50m is a hard no from me. 50 would take some thinking about.
On the one hand I love him as a player, and in any formation with real wingers he'd be a no sale under ~£80m for me at the moment. He's also shown a good attitude lately I think, responding well to the dropping.
On the other hand, where does he fit in Amorims system? I'm all in on Ruben so, he needs to find a place. It's definitely not at #9. Wing back feels awkward, not awful but not the best fit for him overall. One of the #10s I had high hopes for but he hasn't looked all that comfortable there so far and it doesn't fully play to his strengths.
Tough one! £50-60m does wonders for THE PSR headroom to rebuild this squad quickly though, so it's tempting.
