In a shock twist that has stunned the football world, Alejandro Garnacho has officially rejected a contract extension wit Manchester United to complete a dramatic transfer to Championship side Leeds United.
The 20-year-old Argentine winger, considered one of United’s brightest prospects, was unveiled today at Elland Road, proudly donning the famous white jersey and holding a Leeds United scarf aloft in front of a raucous crowd of supporters.
Sources close to the player suggest Garnacho was swayed by the promise of regular first-team football and a central role in Daniel Farke’s ambitious project to lead Leeds back to the Premier League. Leeds are believed to have agreed a deal worth around £35 million, with add-ons that could increase the fee depending on promotion success and performance targets.
Manchester United had tabled an improved offer to retain Garnacho’s services, but the winger opted for a new challenge, citing a desire for more consistent game time and a fresh environment to develop his career.
Speaking at the unveiling, Garnacho said:
“Leeds United showed they really believe in me. The atmosphere here is incredible, and I can’t wait to give everything for this club.”
Leeds United fans have already begun celebrating what could be one of the most audacious and exciting signings in their recent history. With Garnacho’s pace, flair, and fearless attacking style, Leeds have sent a powerful message to their promotion rivals: they mean business.
