Alejandro Garnacho has already made his stance clear on any potential move from Manchester United to Real Madrid, according to a new report.
Real Madrid Exclusivo claimed last week that Real president Florentino Perez will visit Manchester for his side's upcoming Champions League quarter-final tie against Manchester City.
It is said that one main piece of business is on his mind - speaking to the entourage of United star Garnacho over a future transfer.

Garnacho was born in Madrid and represented Atletico Madrid's youth team for five years before moving to England and United in 2020.
Perez appears to be confident that he can entice the Argentina international back to the city of his birth.
But according to TyC Sports journalist Gaston Edul, Garnacho has made it clear that he does not want to play for Real Madrid at this point in his career.

However, it is added that it is the winger's 'dream to play for Real Madrid' before he eventually retires from football.
Garnacho broke through into United's first team last season, in what was manager Erik ten Hag's first season in charge at Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old has improved further this season, scoring five goals in 28 Premier League games - including an incredible bicycle kick goal against Everton in November.

He has moved onto the right side of attack in recent months, having regularly featured on the left wing last season.
Revealing the reason for that particular change, Ten Hag told Sky Sports in December: "It is not only about the wingers. You always want the full-backs there.
"But we have often had to make compromises over the first half of the season. Diogo Dalot is right-footed on the left side. It can work very good but it is not always beneficial for your strikers.
"With Garnacho on the right, you get a right-footer, a different type of player who can go inside but also go outside. We want those dynamics with swapping positions, combinations, getting in behind, bringing it out of the triangles and, from there, serving our strikers."
