Manchester United has turned down a £38m bid from Napoli for their young forward, Alejandro Garnacho. The 20-year-old Argentine is highly regarded at Old Trafford, and the club views him as a vital player for their future. Napoli, however, is determined to secure Garnacho’s signature as they prepare for the potential departure of Khvicha Kvaratskelia to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

The offer, which amounts to €45m (£38m) including add-ons, falls short of Manchester United’s £60m valuation for Garnacho. Despite the rejection, reports suggest the club could lower their asking price under certain conditions. Napoli’s interest is particularly strong as they look to reinvest the funds expected from Kvaratskelia’s possible €80m (£67m) move to PSG.

Other Italian clubs, including Juventus, are also monitoring Garnacho. While Juventus may delay any formal approach until the summer, Napoli is pushing for a January transfer. The urgency stems from their need to fill the gap that Kvaratskelia’s exit would create in their squad.

Garnacho has had limited opportunities under Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim this season, featuring in only three Premier League matches without registering a goal. Despite his talent, the young forward has struggled to secure regular playing time, fueling speculation about his potential departure from the club.

Should Manchester United decide to sell Garnacho, the transfer could provide a financial boost to the team. The funds from his sale would allow the club’s owners, INEOS, to strengthen the squad with new acquisitions during the January transfer window.

Napoli remains eager to add Garnacho to their roster, viewing him as a key player to bolster their attack. The Serie A club sees his potential as a suitable replacement for Kvaratskelia and hopes to finalize a deal in the coming weeks.

As Garnacho’s future hangs in the balance, interest from European clubs continues to grow. The Argentine’s skill and promise make him an attractive target for teams looking to add youthful energy and creativity to their lineups.

For now, Manchester United remains firm in their stance, rejecting bids that undervalue Garnacho. However, the transfer window is far from over, and the situation could evolve rapidly if clubs like Napoli or Juventus increase their offers.
