He mocked Pedri and Barça, and now he's offering himself at a bargain price: 'He doesn't have a place here'

Alejandro Garnacho, the young Argentine winger who a year ago mocked Pedri after knocking Barça out of Europe, is now offering himself to the Catalan club at a bargain price. A twist that few expected and that has caused a stir in the Barça environment.

Alejandro Garnacho, who holds both Spanish and Argentine nationality, is going through a delicate moment at Manchester United, which has had a dreadful season, in line with previous ones.

"You can start praying to find a team, you're not staying here"

At Old Trafford, they hold Garnacho's ineffectiveness responsible for the poor results. His coach, Portuguese Ruben Amorim, told him ironically: "You can start praying to find a team that wants you. You're not going to stay here."

In February 2023, Garnacho celebrated Manchester United's victory over Barça in the Europa League. He did so by imitating Pedri's celebration and posting on social media: "The big team advances to the next round."

This gesture was considered disrespectful by fans. Xavi Hernández himself pointed out that "there's a lack of empathy."

However, Garnacho's current situation at Manchester United has taken a radical turn. After a disappointing season, coach Rubén Amorim informed him that he was not counting on him for the future.

He urged him to look for a new club. Garnacho was excluded from the last Premier League match and his departure from the club seems imminent.

he wouldn't be well received in the locker room

Given this situation, Garnacho's entourage has offered his services to FC Barcelona, aware that his market value has decreased. Meanwhile, the Catalan club is looking for low-cost attacking reinforcements.

Although his Madridist past and his gesture toward Pedri could be obstacles, his youth and talent could make Barça consider the move.

Will Barça accept a player who once mocked one of their idols? Will Garnacho be willing to wear the blaugrana jersey after his Madridist past?

He seems more than willing. The one who won't be very receptive to welcoming him is Pedri. In Barça's locker room, his arrogant gestures were very poorly received and no one would understand if Barça signed him: "He has no place here."
