The Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning champion of the Bundesliga, is already planning for the future without one of its biggest stars. Faced with the increasingly real possibility of losing Florian Wirtz in the upcoming summer transfer window, Xabi Alonso has been clear with the board: the ideal replacement is Alejandro Garnacho. The Spanish coach has put forward the name of the Argentine winger as a priority to strengthen the attack and continue with an ambitious project that has already borne fruit.

Interest in the Manchester United player is not new, but it is gaining strength now with Wirtz's imminent move, coveted by giants like Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Garnacho, just 20 years old, has stood out this season with decisive performances at Old Trafford, and his profile fits perfectly with Alonso's offensive and dynamic style in Germany.

The competition for the Argentine is fierce. Atlético de Madrid and Chelsea have also shown concrete interest, hinting at an auction for a player who has established himself as one of the young gems of European football. In Manchester, however, they are not willing to let him go without a considerable compensation, with the asking price hovering around 70 million pounds.

Leverkusen's aim is clear: to maintain their competitive level after Wirtz's potential departure with a signing for both the present and the future. Garnacho would not just be a quality reinforcement but also a symbol of continuity in the commitment to young talent. The decision now rests with the player and United, but the German offensive is already in motion.
