“Manchester United have slashed £5m off their asking price for Alejandro Garnacho, bringing the winger closer to Napoli. However, reports suggest Chelsea are planning to hijack the move.
Garnacho has been earmarked by United as a potential sacrifice to help fund new signings for Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation. As a traditional winger, Garnacho doesn’t fit naturally into the system.”
“As a homegrown player, the potential sale of Alejandro Garnacho would result in ‘pure profit’ for Manchester United. Initially set at £60m, United have now lowered their asking price for the winger after Napoli’s opening £40m bid was rejected. According to Fabrizio Romano, Napoli’s actual bid was worth £42.2m, but United are holding out for more.
With Chelsea also expressing interest, Man Utd are now reportedly willing to accept a £55m deal, which could be structured in one of two ways: £46.5m plus £8.5m in add-ons, or £50.7m plus £4.3m in add-ons, as confirmed by Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio.”
“United’s price drop has reignited Napoli’s hopes of striking a deal for Garnacho, with Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio confirming Antonio Conte’s side are ‘serious’ about the signing. Fabrizio Romano also echoed this, revealing that Napoli are still pushing for the move at Conte’s request. The Napoli boss even spoke directly with Garnacho last Friday, insisting the winger is the ideal replacement for Kvaratskhelia.
However, two sources have now claimed Chelsea are preparing to intensify their pursuit in an attempt to hijack the move and snatch Garnacho away from Napoli.”
“Chelsea are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho, with The Telegraph stating the club will ‘hold more talks’ with Manchester United in the coming days before deciding whether to make an official bid.
Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the news on X, revealing that Chelsea have already made contact with both United and Garnacho’s camp and are now internally deciding whether to move forward with a bid.”
