Napoli is eagerly pursuing Alejandro Garnacho as their top transfer target. According to Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, Garnacho is a crucial player. However, Manna has made it clear that Napoli will only make a move for the Manchester United winger if it fits their criteria.
Currently, Napoli is in the lead in Serie A, having won their last game against Atalanta with a score of 3-2. But they are also in the market for a new player to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain in a whopping €70 million deal.
Garnacho has caught the attention of Napoli as their first-choice replacement for Kvaratskhelia. However, the Italian club and Manchester United are far apart in their valuation of the Argentinian player. While United is holding out for a hefty £70 million fee, Napoli is hoping to secure a deal closer to €50 million. Interestingly, reports have surfaced that United rejected Napoli's initial offer for Garnacho.
But Napoli is not the only club interested in Garnacho. Chelsea has also made an approach for the young winger, who has already scored eight goals in 31 appearances for United this season.
When asked about Napoli's potential move for Garnacho, Manna stated that they are currently evaluating their options. He acknowledged Garnacho's talent but also emphasized that he is not their player yet. Napoli is determined to make a deal on their own terms.
Meanwhile, Napoli's decision to sell Kvaratskhelia has caused a stir. Manna revealed that the player had already excluded himself from last week's match and had asked to be sold. The coach has been able to keep the team united despite the situation. Manna also mentioned that they were in talks to renew Kvaratskhelia's contract but were unable to meet his salary demands, which ultimately led to his departure. Despite his contributions to Napoli, Kvaratskhelia is now a part of the past and Napoli wishes him the best in his future endeavors.
