Garnacho Keen on Napoli Move but Price Tag Is an Issue

Napoli had positive talks with the entourage of Alejandro Garnacho, but Manchester United has set a massive valuation for him, so his arrival isn’t very likely at the moment despite the income generated by the sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Alfredo Pedullà informs.

The Argentine is open to the transfer. On the other hand, the Red Devils have a lot of balls in the air. Marcus Rashford will make his decision soon. In addition, Joshua Zirkzee is far from certain to stay given his reduced role under Ruben Amorim. The team might not want to lose so many attackers in the same window.

Napoli started with a €45M offer for Garnacho, but it’s not enough. The counterparty wants at least £60M. The Partenopei aren’t planning to invest almost every penny they’ll get from the departure of their ace right away.

The 20-year-old has been the only player directly indicated by Antonio Conte to replace Kvaratskhelia so far. The officials will keep chasing him until there’s a sliver of hope to sign him. Juventus lodged a serious inquiry but for the summer. Manchester United might prefer to postpone the matter by a few months to solve their other issues first.

Our Take on Napoli and Garnacho

They have gone above and beyond to make their boss happy since he joined, but this is by far their most complicated and expensive pursuit despite the huge incoming windfall. Even having the will of the player in their pocket might not be enough, and he’d probably benefit from the other possible exits up front.
