Alejandro Garnacho
is barely 18 years old and is one of the new jewels of Europe.
Although he defends the albiceleste colors of his Argentine mother, he was born in Madrid and three years ago moved to England to play for
Manchester United
's youth teams , a club that wants to retain him due to the interest of other giants from the Old Continent.
However,
the striker rejected the first renewal offer
.
The information was given by the English newspaper
The Independent
, which reported that the club's leaders offered a contract of
20,000 pounds a week
-about 25,000 dollars- to renew the link that expires in mid-2024, a proposal that Garnacho rejected despite that
at present his remuneration is 7,000 pounds a week
.
With his current salary, the Spanish nationalized Argentine
is the second worst paid in the squad
, behind the Swede Anthony Elanga, who earns 5,500 pounds a week, and earns almost half that of Hannibal Mejbi, who receives 13,000 pounds at Birmingham, a club of the Championship to which he went on loan.

According to the British media, United's proposal follows the guidelines established by
Sir Alex Ferguson
to gradually lead young people into professional football, without them going crazy for money and knowing that higher salaries will come with experience.
Although the first response to an early renewal was not as expected,
the Manchester club is betting on reaching an agreement
since the conversations with the representative and the player's relatives "are positive."
Of course he doesn't want any of Europe's giants to get in the way either.
It is not a surprise that
Real Madrid
, a team that in recent years has been nourished by young promises, and
Juventus
are behind the footballer who will turn 19 on July 1.
Although he is
a substitute
, the Dutch coach Erik ten Hag considers Garnacho an important piece of the
Red Devils
and the young man returns confidence with actions, such as the one last Saturday when he entered the Manchester classic when his team lost 1-0 and was key to the goal that allowed him to beat City 2-1.
The striker would also have his minutes in the world champion team in March, since it is estimated that Lionel Scaloni will summon him for the friendlies that the AFA will hold to celebrate the title in Qatar.
