An image circulating on social media on 11/8 shows Garnacho sitting in a tattoo artist's chair, seemingly exhaling and holding what resembles a vape pen, a type legal in the UK. This is the second time the Argentinian player has been involved in a vape-related controversy.

In 2023, Garnacho posted a photo in his living room that showed a nicotine vape, which is banned in the UK, before quickly deleting it. At the time, a source close to him claimed the vape belonged to a family member, not Garnacho.
While the device Garnacho is holding this time is believed to be legal, the image has still drawn attention, particularly given his unresolved future at Man Utd.
Manager Ruben Amorim reportedly told Garnacho to find a new club in 5/2025 after the player publicly expressed his displeasure at being benched for the Europa League final against Tottenham.
Chelsea is now closely monitoring the situation and may sign Garnacho before the transfer window closes. They are reportedly prepared to offer around £50 million (USD 67 million), significantly less than Man Utd's previous asking price of £70 million (USD 94 million). According to British media, Chelsea's management is unconcerned about Garnacho's personal issues and has reportedly reached a personal agreement with the 21-year-old.
Garnacho idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese superstar is famously tattoo-free. The 40-year-old has also never been seen with any tobacco products. Ronaldo is known for his disciplined diet, nutrition, and training regimen, as confirmed by many of his teammates.
Garnacho and his girlfriend Eva Garcia have a son together, born on 4/10/2023. However, last month, Eva unfollowed him on Instagram, sparking rumors of a rift.
Garnacho made his first-team debut for Man Utd in 4/2022. He has played 144 matches, scoring 26 goals and providing 22 assists. He won the 2023 League Cup and the 2024 FA Cup with the Red Devils. His current contract with Man Utd has three years remaining.
