Napoli renew interest in Man United star

Napoli are reportedly set to reignite their pursuit of Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho after failing to secure his signature in January.

The Argentine starlet was previously linked with both Napoli and Chelsea during the winter transfer window but ultimately remained at Old Trafford.

According to journalist Cristiano Abbruzzese, via Area Napoli, the Serie A leaders have now made the 20-year-old their top priority to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who joined Paris Saint-Germain earlier this year.

The report suggests Manchester United could be forced to offload players this summer to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

Garnacho, being an academy graduate, would count as pure profit on the club’s balance sheet, making him a likely candidate for a potential sale.

United are believed to value the winger at around €50million (£42.5m), a fee that may not deter Napoli, especially if Antonio Conte’s side clinches the Scudetto this season.

The Partenopei currently sit at the top of the Serie A table, and a league title could strengthen their pull in the transfer market.

Garnacho is under contract at United until 2028

Garnacho, under contract at United until 2028, has enjoyed a productive campaign with 10 goals and nine assists in 52 appearances across all competitions.

Despite ongoing transfer speculation, he could feature in United’s Europa League semi-final first leg away at Athletic Club on Thursday.
