Garnacho deal has easy solution for Aston Villa after mega-money news
Aston Villa are one of several clubs to have been linked with a move for Alejandro Garnacho in recent weeks.
The Argentine winger is thought to be heading out of the door at Old Trafford, with Villa one of several parties who could be keen on a potential deal.
Garnacho has progressed to take on a more significant role within Manchester United’s squad in recent years, but with his exit now seeming likely, Villa could be readying a potential swoop.
Unai Emery, Monchi and Co. will be keen to strengthen the squad, as they look to bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on Champions League qualification next term.
Villa should pull away from any potential Garnacho deal
Villa’s summer transfer business is set to be heavily dictated to by their financial constraints.
Several Premier League sides are thought to be toeing the line in regards to the Premier League’s PSR constraints, but it has been revealed that Villa are the club who are in the most danger of overstepping the mark.
As a result, there is a huge importance that the B6 go about their transfer business in a shrewd and cost-effective manner this summer, to avoid running the risk of heavy fines or even a possible points deduction.
With that in mind, they should be looking to cool their interest in the 20-year-old in order to use that money elsewhere in the squad.
The odds of Garnacho moving to Villa Park increased drastically on Thursday (12 June), but given United’s demands, there is little point in Villa pursuring a deal.
The 20-time champions are believed to be holding out for £70million for their academy graduate, according to The Independent (10 June).
Garnacho is too inconsistent for Villa
United’s demands are reason alone for Villa to step away from any potential transfer, as with their current financial position, it would be logical to spend that across several signings rather than on one major target.
When you then consider the way that Garnacho has performed for United, he becomes an even less sensible option for the Villa Park side.

The wideman has just enjoyed the most productive campaign of his senior career so far, but there are still major concerns over his consistency, as well as his ability to produce in the important games and moments.
He is undoubtedly a player with huge potential to improve in the future, but it’s hard to argue that he would be an immediate upgrade to the Villans’ attacking ranks.
Prudent spending will be the key for Villa if they are to arm Emery with capable reinforcements, and spending £70m on Garnacho would not represent good business in that regard.
