Napoli face Chelsea competition for Kvaratskhelia’s replacement
Napoli have identified Ajeandro Garnacho of Manchester United as their primary transfer target after losing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG. However, the latest reports from England suggest they could face competition from Chelsea, who are also reportedly looking at the player.
The Partenopei are on the verge of finalising a €75m deal, which would see the Georgian ace join the Ligue 1 giants, and the club is eager to provide coach Antonio Conte with his replacement as quickly as possible.
Chelsea could rival Napoli for Manchester United’s Garnacho
There is still more than one obstacle to overcome, though, as Sky Sports News reported that Chelsea are willing to sign an offensive winger and are considering a number of options, including Garnacho.
The English outlet also echoed a report from Italian newspaper Il Mattino, claiming that only a huge offer could convince the Red Devils to sell a player they are not open to letting go in January, as he’s currently part of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Napoli are confident about reaching an agreement on personal terms with the 20-year-old soon, but chances are they will need to keep negotiating with Manchester United, who are currently demanding €80m for the Argentina international.
