Real Madrid president Florentino Perez plans to sign Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho in the future.
Garnacho has already spent some time in the city, representing Atletico Madrid across a five-year period between 2015 and 2020 during his youth days.
However, the entirety of the 19-year-old’s senior career has been spent at Old Trafford, Garnacho developing into a key man at the club.

A total of 12 goals and nine assists have been contributed from 74 appearances in all competitions, including five strikes and three assists coming during this season’s Premier League.
Regardless of whether Erik ten Hag remains at the helm, there is the perception that the Argentina international is regarded as a long-term fixture in the squad.
That is partly due to Garnacho having penned a contract extension as recently as last April, tying him to the Red Devils until the end of the 2027-28 campaign.
Nevertheless, with his development on an upward trajectory, Garnacho is always going to be linked with a future move to another top European club.
According to Real Madrid Exclusivo, Perez wants that team to be Real Madrid once Garnacho has entered his twenties.
The report claims that Perez and fellow Los Blancos officials have already been watching Garnacho’s performances with the view of trying to sign him in one of the upcoming transfer windows.
Perez is said to be keen to hold a conversation with Garnacho when Real Madrid travel to Manchester for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie next month.

Whether any informal talks are held remains to be seen, Garnacho likely to be focused on his and United’s preparation for an FA Cup semi-final with Coventry City later that week.
An approach by the club is unlikely to be imminent with acquiring the services of Kylian Mbappe to join the likes of Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior the current focus of Real.
