TBR Football understands that Alejandro Garnacho is open to a move to Aston Villa amid growing interest, with Chelsea and Tottenham also monitoring the Manchester United star’s situation.
Garnacho has been at the centre of transfer speculation all summer, with manager Ruben Amorim believed to consider the winger surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
TBR Football exclusively revealed that Chelsea’s PSR situation could pave the way for a move for the Argentine, while Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring Garnacho.
Now, Aston Villa have emerged as a new Premier League contender – and Garnacho is not thought to be against a potential switch to Villa Park.
Exclusive: Alejandro Garnacho open to an Aston Villa move
Garnacho is keen to stay in the Premier League and, attracted by the prospect of working under Unai Emery, would be open to a move to Aston Villa, TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can confirm.
Bailey states: “Alejandro Garnacho wants to stay in England, and there are only so many options. Chelsea, we know, like him, whilst Tottenham have maintained contact.
“But Aston Villa have emerged as an option, I am told the player has done his homework on the possibility of working with Unai Emery, and he has heard good things.
“Emery knows how to get a tune out of these young talents – we have seen it with the likes of Morgan Rogers, indeed, could Garnacho replace the England man? It is not impossible.
“Villa want to make some impact on the market this summer, and Garnacho could be just that for them.”

The young Argentine sparked controversy earlier this year when he posted a picture to his Instagram wearing a Marcus Rashford Aston Villa jersey on holiday, despite still currently employed by Manchester United.
Garnacho claimed the gesture was a form of support for his teammate, who was on loan at Villa during the second half of the season.
However, this was met with anger and frustration from Manchester United fans, as it was seen as disrespectful to the club.
