Alejandro Garnacho keen on surprise Premier League switch

Alejandro Garnacho keen on surprise Premier League switch

Yahoo3 days ago
With the Bryan Mbeumo deal now sealed, Manchester United's focus has now shifted to player sales.
Marcus Rashford has already earned a loan move to Barcelona, while Jadon Sancho seems to be inching closer to Juventus.
Both those deals will not net the Red Devils a huge amount, with Alejandro Garnacho earmarked as the biggest sale this window.
Unlike his fellow forwards, the Argentine is keen to stay in the Premier League and he has already turned down a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, where he was offered the chance to reunite with idol Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.
Napoli, Atletico Madrid were also linked with a move, but the United No.17 is hoping to stay in England with Chelsea long-term admirers.
Garnacho wants PL stay
But so far, the Blues have yet to submit a concrete proposal, while Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a move.
Aston Villa are the latest entrants, with recent reports suggesting Unai Emery's side could offer a loan deal, something the 20-time English league champions are likely to reject.
TBR Football have claimed the Argentina international has done his homework on Villa, and feels Emery can get the best out of him.
The Spaniard has a proven track record with young stars, while he also got a tune out of Marcus Rashford last season, which even saw the Mancunian regain his spot in the England national team.
'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 can confirm.
'Alejandro Garnacho wants to stay in England, and there are only so many options. Chelsea, we know, like him, whilst Tottenham have maintained contact.
Open to Villa move
'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.'
Alejandro Garnacho was even spotted wearing a Villa kit, not too long ago, and he could soon follow in Rashford's footsteps.
However, a lot will depend on the kind of deal the Birmingham side end up offering. They are not in the best position, financially, but with United's eyes on Emiliano Martinez, a cash-plus player deal could be on the cards.

Arsenal completes signing of Spain U21 defender Cristhian Mosquera

LONDON (AP) — Cristhian Mosquera became Arsenal's fifth signing of the off season on Thursday after completing a move from Valencia. The Spain Under 21 defender cost a reported 13 million pounds ($17.5 million) and signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months. 'We identified Cristhian as one of the strongest young defenders in European football, and he is an important signing for our future,' Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta said. Arsenal, which has finished runner-up in the Premier League for the last three seasons, has been active in the market this summer. The move for Mosquera comes after deals for midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, forward Noni Madueke and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The London club is also widely expected to sign a striker, with Viktor Gyokeres a reported target. The 21-year-old Mosquera was born in Spain and is also eligible to play for Colombia. He won gold at the Paris Olympics with Spain last year. 'He is a young player with exciting talent and enormous potential, who will fit well into our squad as we continue to prepare for next season," manager Mikel Arteta said. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press

Liverpool vs AC Milan: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Liverpool continue their preparations for the 2025-26 season with a high-profile friendly against AC Milan in Hong Kong this weekend. The Reds departed for Asia last Sunday after thrashing Stoke City in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the AXA training centre. Arne Slot's side can expect to face a step up in opposition on Saturday, though supporters will be excited to get a first glimpse of a new signing as well as seeing the likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez in action once again. This is the first of two matches in Asia for the reigning Premier League champions as they are coming up against Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan next week. Milan head into the friendly on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in midweek as Max Allegri - back for a second spell in charge - gets to work on the squad he inherited over the summer. Date, kick-off time and venue Liverpool vs AC Milan is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off (UK time) on Saturday, July 26, 2025. The match will take place at the Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong. Where to watch Liverpool vs AC Milan TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised live. Live stream: Viewers will be able to stream the game live on All Red Video. A monthly subscription costs £4.99. Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport's live blog! Liverpool vs AC Milan team news Liverpool initially named a 29-man squad for their Asia tour, but there has since been a major addition with Hugo Ekitike completing his move from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Frenchman has joined up with his new teammates in Hong Kong and should be in line to make an appearance on Saturday. Alisson, Alexis MacAllister and Luis Diaz could some minutes under their belts, while talented youngster Rio Ngumoha could get another chance to impress after scoring against Stoke last time out. Milan have reported no fresh injury concerns following the loss to Arsenal but they did confirm the signing of Pervis Estupinan from Brighton on Thursday and it remains to be seen if he will be in contention for a debut against Liverpool. Liverpool vs AC Milan prediction Milan, for large spells, gave a good account of themselves against Arsenal but lacked a cutting edge in attack. That was to be expected with no senior centre-forward named in the tour squad. Coming up against a Liverpool team that are top-heavy in attack will represent a different task for the Serie A giants entirely. Of course, the result is not important as Slot will be using this fixture to build up match fitness for his player and also experiment with formation and personnel. Still, the Reds should have too much quality. Liverpool to win, 3-0. Head to head (h2h) history and results These two European giants traded Champions League final wins in 2005 and 2007 but it is Liverpool who have won the last three meetings in a row.
