Man Utd are reportedly willing to consider offers from Napoli for Alejandro Garnacho after adjusting their asking price for the talented winger, according to various sources. The Red Devils, recognizing the shifting dynamics within their squad, are now open to negotiations as Garnacho, the promising Argentina international, seems poised to leave the club before the transfer window closes.
Despite showing flashes of brilliance, Garnacho has faced challenges adapting to the tactics and formation favored by new Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim. This has led to increased speculation about his future at Old Trafford. Napoli, who recently parted ways with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, transferring him to Paris Saint-Germain, have identified Garnacho as a key target and have reportedly made two offers to acquire the young winger.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided insight, indicating that Napoli’s latest proposal for Garnacho is an ‘opening bid’ worth €50 million, which includes various add-ons. However, it appears that Manchester United is holding out for a higher fee, as they are not completely satisfied with this initial offer. Moreover, Chelsea has also expressed interest and made contact regarding a potential deal for Garnacho, placing additional pressure on Napoli to act swiftly.
In his commentary on the situation via social media platform X, Romano wrote: “Napoli’s opening bid for Alejandro Garnacho worth €50m package add-ons included; Man United want more. Antonio Conte keeps pushing after the call with Garnacho on Friday. Chelsea made contact with United and player side, now deciding internally whether to bid or not.” This level of interest from multiple clubs underscores Garnacho’s value and the competitive nature of the current transfer market.
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio added further clarity to the evolving negotiations. According to his reports, Napoli is serious about securing Garnacho, and communications between the two clubs have ramped up in recent days. Man Utd appears to be taking a more flexible stance, having lowered their asking price significantly from €75 million to €65 million. This represents a notable shift in strategy as the Red Devils seek to find a resolution.
Di Marzio noted that Man Utd and Napoli met on Tuesday, January 21, to discuss the potential transfer of Garnacho, who was born in 2004 and is seen as a bright prospect for the future. The Red Devils demonstrated a willingness to accommodate Napoli’s financial situation, reportedly indicating that they would accept offers closer to the €60 million mark, depending on how the deal is structured, whether that be €55 million with €10 million in bonuses or €60 million with a smaller bonus component.
While Napoli remains at an offer of around €50-55 million, the gap between the two clubs is narrowing. Di Marzio expressed optimism about the possibility of closing the deal if Napoli can meet the €60 million target. However, he also cautioned that such an investment hinges on the approval of Napoli’s President, Aurelio De Laurentiis. The discussions on that Tuesday provided a crucial step toward making progress in negotiations, positioning Napoli closer to potentially securing Garnacho’s services for their squad. As both clubs continue to deliberate, fans and analysts alike are keenly watching to see how this transfer saga unfolds in the final days of the transfer window.
