Tottenham make shock move to sign Garnacho, United ‘prepared to sell’ for this price – report | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have made a shock enquiry for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho after failing to convince Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel, according to Daily Mail.

The London giants are determined to bolster their attack before the transfer window closes on Monday night. They agreed to sign Tel from Bayern for £50 million, only for the player to reject them.

The club have now made a surprise enquiry for Garnacho, who has been tipped to leave Old Trafford in recent weeks. Napoli and Chelsea have expressed interest, but neither have met their price.

Napoli have had multiple talks with United officials, but their £50m proposal was insufficient. It is claimed that the Red Devils are ‘prepared to sell’ the winger for £60m before the deadline.

Spurs have now made a formal enquiry for the United wonderkid, but it is unclear whether Garnacho would consider a move to north London at this stage of the transfer window.

Garnacho unlikely to entertain Spurs move

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy personally travelled to Munich on Friday morning to convince Tel, but the youngster made it clear that he did not want to join the club.

Tel is now waiting for interest from United or Arsenal. If an offer does not arrive from either club, he would prefer to stay at Bayern for the rest of the campaign.

Amidst this, Spurs have made a surprise attempt to land Garnacho. The London outfit have the financial firepower to meet United’s demands, but the winger could snub the move.

The Argentine may not want to leave the Red Devils for Spurs, who have had a poor season themselves.

The club are 15th in the league with just 24 points on the board. Garnacho could prefer to fight for his place at United instead of a guaranteed starting role at Spurs.

We would be amazed if Garnacho were to contemplate a move to Ange Postecoglou’s side.
