Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Alejandro Garnacho as its main target for the winter market. Diego Pablo Simeone, a declared admirer of the Argentine winger, believes that the young talent could be key to bolstering the team's attacking line, especially in light of Antoine Griezmann's possible departure next summer.
The situation at Manchester United, where Rubén Amorim would be willing to facilitate the player's exit, opens the door for a strategic move by the Spanish club.
Atlético de Madrid dreams of Alejandro Garnacho's return
Garnacho, who initially trained in Atlético's youth teams before moving to England in 2021, would fit perfectly in a hypothetical attacking trident alongside Giuliano Simeone and Julián Álvarez, if this ambitious rojiblanco project materializes. His performance this season, with eight goals and four assists in 24 appearances, highlights his ability as a game-changing forward, but he seems not to adapt to Amorim's tactical model at United.
The Portuguese coach, focused on a profound squad transformation, appears determined to part ways with players who do not fit his system. Garnacho, who has not completed a match since November, has been left out of several squad lists, fueling speculation about his immediate future. According to various reports, differences between the player's direct style and Amorim's tactical demands could be decisive for his departure.
Atlético de Madrid aims to seize this opportunity to repatriate one of its former promises. With the winter market drawing closer, the possibility of Garnacho returning to La Liga gains strength, while Simeone prepares to reinforce his attack with a player of global potential.
