The highly-rated Argentine winger has reached a full agreement with Wolves, with Manchester United giving the final green light.

This move not only reshapes the trajectory of Garnacho’s young and explosive career but also signals a dramatic shift in ambition and direction for both Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers heading into the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Breaking the Mold: Garnacho Leaves United
For most fans and pundits, Alejandro Garnacho was considered a cornerstone for Manchester United’s rebuild. The 20-year-old was hailed as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe—blessed with flair, blistering pace, confidence on the ball, and a penchant for scoring in big moments. Having joined United’s academy in 2020 from Atlético Madrid, Garnacho made rapid progress through the youth ranks before becoming a regular first-team contributor.
Last season, under Erik ten Hag, Garnacho delivered some of the most electrifying performances for the Red Devils, notching 9 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His wonder goal in the FA Cup final, a curling effort into the top corner, was replayed millions of times across social media. Many expected the club to build around him in the years to come.
But football, like life, is full of surprises.
Sources close to Manchester United have confirmed that the decision to sell Garnacho was both sporting and financial. Despite his importance to the squad, the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League this past season left a gaping hole in the budget. With Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations tightening, United were forced to consider high-value departures. Wolverhampton Wanderers emerged with a bold offer the club couldn’t refuse.
The Deal Details: Wolves Go All In
Wolverhampton’s aggressive pursuit of Garnacho represents their clearest statement of intent in years. After finishing 9th last season under manager Gary O’Neil, the club’s leadership—led by Chinese ownership group Fosun International—set their sights higher. The acquisition of Garnacho is expected to cost Wolves a club-record fee of £65 million, including bonuses and performance-based add-ons.

According to insiders, the deal also includes a 20% sell-on clause in favor of Manchester United, and a buy-back option which can be triggered within the next three years, depending on Garnacho’s development.
The player has reportedly agreed to a five-year contract at Molineux, running until June 2030, with a weekly wage north of £120,000 tripling his previous salary at Old Trafford. Garnacho’s camp, led by agent Eugenio Ascencio, pushed for guarantees of regular playing time and a long-term vision that places him at the heart of Wolves’ offensive setup. Both sides are said to be fully aligned.
The winger is expected to undergo his medical in the next 48 hours, with an official presentation set to take place next week at Molineux in front of a roaring crowd.
Wolves’ Vision: Building Something Bigger
For years, Wolverhampton Wanderers have flirted with mid-table finishes and brief European runs, but lacked the firepower and charisma to become consistent top-six challengers. The signing of Garnacho may well change that.
Gary O’Neil, known for his tactical discipline and man-management, is assembling a dynamic squad blending experience and youth. With Pedro Neto, Matheus Cunha, and now Alejandro Garnacho in the mix, Wolves are building a front line that can frighten any defense in the Premier League.
In a recent interview, O’Neil teased fans by saying, “We’re not done yet. We want players who are hungry, who want to be the best—not just survive in the league, but thrive. Garnacho is a statement. He’s only the beginning.”
It’s clear Wolves are backing their manager with full support and resources. Insiders believe that the club’s target is no longer just survival or mid-table comfort it’s European football.

A Goodbye to Manchester United
The mood at Old Trafford, however, is far more conflicted. Fans are stunned, with social media flooded with reactions ranging from heartbreak to outrage. Garnacho was not just another prospect; he was a fan favorite, a player who played with visible passion and carried the club’s spirit during tough stretches.
His departure may also serve as a reflection of Manchester United’s troubled situation off the pitch persistent ownership uncertainty, FFP issues, and a lack of sporting stability. Despite high hopes, the club has seen several stars depart in recent years and Garnacho’s sale further underscores a transitional phase.
