As reported by The Times, Alejandro Garnacho is close to agreeing to a new long-term contract at Manchester United after impressing Erik ten Hag this season.
According to reports, the Argentine striker is close to signing a five-year contract that would significantly increase his current weekly salary of £7,000. In 25 games this season, Garnacho has scored four goals, including the game-winning goal against Fulham.
Real Madrid is rumoured to be interested in signing the 18-year-old, but United are reportedly optimistic that he will stay at Old Trafford.
The club should do everything in their power to secure the 18-year-old’s future because his current contract is slated to expire in 2024. He has been our season’s breakout star.
Garnacho, who has emerged as one of Erik ten Hag’s most promising players, is expected to receive a significant wage improvement. According to the source, discussions over new terms began a few months ago, but now all sides have come to an understanding.
United is moving forward with contracts regardless of the possibility that we will have new owners later this year. It’s also encouraging to know that they have been successful in warding off Real Madrid’s attention for at least a few years.
Erik ten Hag aims to assemble a strong starting XI and he will try his best to keep his prized asset at the club.
