Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho during this summer's transfer window.
Garnacho was heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford in January, with both Chelsea and Napoli believed to have been interested in signing the Argentina international, who joined the Red Devils from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
Napoli are believed to have had a £40m offer rejected by Man United, while Chelsea are thought to have given serious consideration to moving for the 20-year-old due to their desire to bring in a new winger.
Man United are not actively looking to sell Garnacho, but his future is again expected to be a topic of debate this summer, as any sale of the youngster would count as pure profit under the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules.
Garnacho has again been an important player for the Red Devils during the 2024-25 campaign, featuring on 40 occasions, scoring eight goals and registering six assists in the process, but there remain question marks over his suitability for Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 system.

Barcelona 'considering summer move for Garnacho'
According to Fichajes, Barcelona are admirers of the forward, with the Catalan outfit giving serious consideration to making a move for him when this summer's transfer window opens for business.
The report claims that Garnacho's style is viewed as a perfect fit for Barcelona, and he is viewed as an 'attractive option' for Hansi Flick's side, who want to bring in a new wide player at the end of the season.
Garnacho has long been linked with a return to Spain, with former club Atletico thought to be interested, while there have also previously been claims that Real Madrid are admirers of his talents.
The attacker has represented Man United on 126 occasions, scoring 23 goals and registering 15 assists in the process, including a record of 13 goals and seven assists in 83 appearances in England's top flight.

Should Man United allow Garnacho to leave?
Garnacho reacted angrily to being replaced before the interval against Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Wednesday night, with Amorim needing to make a change due to Patrick Dorgu's red card.
The forward headed straight down the tunnel and later posted a questionable image on his social media account, with Amorim revealing on Friday that Garnacho will pay for a team meal as his punishment.
Amorim has insisted that there is no issue between the two, but there have been previous incidents of problems this season, with one of those coming ahead of the Manchester derby back in December, when he was famously dropped alongside Marcus Rashford.
There was a way back for Garnacho, which cannot be said for Rashford, and he is the most talented forward in the Man United squad, so a sale would be unpopular with the vast majority of fans.
Selling Garnacho abroad would be much more attractive than allowing him to move to Chelsea, though, and if Barcelona are prepared to put big money on the table, then Man United should certainly consider letting him depart.
