Aston Villa increasingly likely to sign Garnacho amid £70m Man United news
Aston Villa have shown strong interest in bolstering their attacking options ahead of next season’s campaign.
Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have returned to their parent clubs following loan spells, leaving Aston Villa short on attacking depth.
As further departures are expected, the club is actively seeking reinforcements to strengthen their forward line ahead of next season.
Jack Grealish and Alejandro Garnacho have been tipped to join the club before next season’s pivotal campaign.
Garnacho tipped to fill Villa’s forward gaps
With a busy summer underway at Villa Park, Garnacho has emerged as a potential attacking option for Unai Emery’s side.
The Independent has reported that the Villans have entered the race to sign the Manchester United winger, who carries a reported £70million price tag.

| Alejandro Garnacho | 36 | 6 | 2 |
Four other clubs are also monitoring the 20-year-old ahead of next season, with Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen all believed to be showing interest.
With United needing to sell this summer as part of a squad overhaul, Garnacho is viewed as a potential departure.
Following the Europa League final, where he was left out of the starting XI, the Argentine international hinted at uncertainty surrounding his future.
Bet365 have priced a move to Villa at 10/1, with the odds shortening recently. Chelsea remain favourites at 1/1 to secure his signature.
PSR concerns loom over Villa summer strategy
PSR concerns have emerged for Aston Villa, with the club potentially facing UEFA punishment if found guilty of breaching regulations.
Villa may be forced to sell key players over the next couple of years to comply with PSR regulations, with Morgan Rogers rumoured to be among the club’s most sellable assets.
It could also impact their pursuit of Garnacho, as they may be unable to meet the winger’s reported £70million price tag.
A rollercoaster summer awaits Villa fans as the club faces a pivotal transfer window with other teams reinforcing their squads.
If they can get their recruitment right, this could be the season that finally brings silverware back to Villa Park for the first time since 1996.
