Napoli can try again for Garnacho after Manchester United decision

Napoli could get another opportunity to sign January target Alejandro Garnacho, as Fabrizio Romano claims Manchester United are now eager to sell.

The negotiations had dragged on in the January transfer window already, as Antonio Conte pin-pointed him as the ideal replacement for PSG-bound Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

However, the massive €90m asking price was considered outlandishly high by Napoli, so it went nowhere.

Now transfer pundit Romano claims that the problems between Garnacho’s entourage and Manchester United have come to a head, with both deciding his time at the club is effectively over.

Garnacho will be back on Napoli radar

Napoli are bound to try again, and have more money at their disposal after winning the Serie A title and qualifying for the Champions League.

That doesn’t mean the new €71m asking price is any more realistic, so Manchester United will have to lower that to get anywhere near an agreement.

There are other contenders too for Garnacho, who turns 21 next month, including from Bayer Leverkusen, but above all different Premier League teams.

He scored 11 goals with 10 assists in 58 competitive games for Manchester United this season.
