Alejandro Granacho Joined Manchester United’s academy in 2020 from Atletico Madrid, and after being promoted to the senior team in July 2022, quickly became an important rotation player for the Red Devils. Today, the 19-year-old Argentinian has already taken a permanent place in Erik ten Haag’s team with 38 appearances this season in all formats, 7 goals and 4 assists which also gave him a contract extension until 2028.
Ensuring Granacho’s stay at the club from Manchester was mainly due to the desire to keep other teams away from the Argentinian diamond that attracted a lot of interest throughout Europe from last season. One of the interested parties is Real Madrid, and now the media in the Spanish capital claim that Florentino Perez, the president of the team, “will act in a similar way to signing Cristiano Ronaldo”.
As you remember, CR7 joined Real from United in the summer of 2008 and became the greatest of the Blancos players of all time. Peres, according to the report in Spain, plans to start the communication with Granacho and his representatives in a similar way to how he acted in the signing of Ronaldo. Earlier, during Real’s visit to Manchester in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Manchester City, the president of the club plans to meet the Argentine. After that, they will already start working on his signing, which may only happen in the summer of 2025, in order to give him more playing time that he probably won’t be able to get at Real in his first season.
In 74 appearances for Manchester United, the Argentine winger scored a total of 12 goals and assisted 9 more.
