Leo Messi continues to score and assist. He continues to be in the news because of his goals, but also because of his opinions, which remain relevant. Now, in addition, Messi has spoken about a potential player for Real Madrid, and this is not good news for Deco and Laporta.
Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho has once again found himself in the media spotlight. This time, he's in the spotlight due to rumours linking him to Real Madrid. The winger, a self-confessed Real Madrid fan, has shown his admiration for the club on several occasions.
And of course, this has fueled speculation about a possible signing even more. At just 19, Garnacho has become one of the great promises of football and his future could be in Madrid.

In addition to his quality on the field, Garnacho has drawn attention due to one of his decisions. He opted to play for Argentina, despite having the option of representing Spain. This gesture has allowed him to share a dressing room with big stars such as Lionel Messi, a relationship that has been the subject of rumours in recent months.
There was speculation that the relationship between Garnacho and Messi was not all that good, especially after a viral picture in which they appeared distant on the bench during a Copa America match. However, both the Manchester United player and Messi himself have denied any conflict.
Garnacho responded to criticism on social media with an image in which they are seen hugging each other after the match, making it clear that there is no tension between them.
In fact, sources close to Messi have revealed that the Argentine star is in favor of the possible signing of Garnacho for Real Madrid. Messi has commented to those close to him that it would be a great success for Florentino Pérez to secure the services of the young winger. The best player in the world has praised his potential and quality. He has even gone so far as to regret Garnacho's not having a place in Joan Laporta and Deco's Barcelona, a club where he could also have fit in well.
Real Madrid's interest in Garnacho is nothing new. The club has been keeping an eye on his development for some time now. In fact, his profile fits perfectly with the type of player the board is looking for. His speed, ability in one-on-one situations and young age make him an attractive option to strengthen the squad, especially with the future in mind.
With a contract that ties him to Manchester United until 2028, Garnacho's arrival would not be easy. However, his connection with Real Madrid and the backing of figures such as Messi could be key factors in making the transfer a reality. The possibility of seeing him wearing white is on the table, and fans are already dreaming of seeing him shine at the Santiago Bernabéu.
