In a surprising transfer development, Napoli has launched a €45 million bid for Manchester United's dynamic winger Alejandro Garnacho, as they prepare for life after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's imminent departure to Paris Saint-Germain.
According to SportItalia, newly appointed manager Antonio Conte has identified the 20-year-old Argentine as the perfect replacement for Kvaratskhelia. However, the Italian club's initial offer of €45m (£38m/$46m) falls significantly short of United's valuation. The Red Devils are seeking £60m ($73m) for Garnacho, a figure that would represent pure profit under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) due to his academy status.
The transfer saga has attracted additional interest from Italian giants Juventus, who have also made inquiries about the talented winger. Garnacho, who joined United's youth setup from Atletico Madrid in 2020, has emerged as one of the Premier League's most exciting young talents.
The Argentine international has already made his mark this season with impressive statistics, recording eight goals and five assists in 30 appearances across all competitions. His rising profile is further enhanced by his eight caps for the Argentina national team.
As speculation over his future intensifies, Garnacho remains focused on United's upcoming fixtures, with the Red Devils facing Southampton on Thursday before a crucial matchup against Brighton. The timing of these transfer discussions comes as United struggles in the lower half of the Premier League table, adding another layer of complexity to any potential deal.
