The winds of change are blowing through the Bundesliga.
And with a new managerial face in town, one club is wasting no time reshaping its attack ahead of next season.
Following a runner-up finish in the league and with one of their star creators expected to depart, the search for a dynamic forward has begun for Bayer Leverkusen.
It has not taken long for the new manager, Erik ten Hag, to outline his targets.
Still settling into his office, Ten Hag has already made clear who he wants leading his next project, a familiar face from his previous job at Manchester United, someone he believes can replicate the spark lost with his outgoing playmaker.
This same player, once considered untouchable in Manchester, has seen his situation shift dramatically.
His minutes have been inconsistent, his development somewhat stalled, and now, as summer approaches, both player and club appear open to a move.
Not just any move, but one that could revive a stalled trajectory and offer a chance to shine on a new stage.
While Leverkusen is pushing for a season-long loan, the Red Devils are weighing up a permanent sale, hoping to balance books while retaining some leverage in negotiations.
The transfer tug-of-war is already underway, but one thing is clear: the interest is real, and the intentions are serious.
As revealed by CaughtOffside, the player on the radar is Alejandro Garnacho, and his former manager at Manchester United, Erik ten Hag is now in charge of Bayer Leverkusen.
With Florian Wirtz tipped for a high-profile exit, Ten Hag sees Garnacho as the perfect successor to inject youth, pace, and unpredictability into his new side. For now, talks remain informal.
But the narrative is shifting quickly, and the Bundesliga could soon have another South American talent lighting up the wings; just not in the red of Manchester anymore.
